Optimization of the arterial input function for myocardial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
PURPOSE To determine how injection rate, cardiac function, and breathhold influence the arterial input function (AIF), in order to optimize the AIF in the clinical setting for quantitative myocardial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). MATERIALS AND METHODS Gd (0.1 mmol/kg) bolus was injected at 3, 5, or 7 mL/second in 35 patients. In each cardiac cycle during the first-pass, a...
متن کاملQuantitative three-dimensional myocardial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance with accurate two-dimensional arterial input function assessment
BACKGROUND Quantification of myocardial perfusion from first-pass cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images at high contrast agent (CA) dose requires separate acquisition of blood pool and myocardial tissue enhancement. In this study, a dual-sequence approach interleaving 2D imaging of the arterial input function with high-resolution 3D imaging for myocardial perfusion assessment is presen...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosing coronary arterial stenosis.
It has been reported that myocardial perfusion MRI is a useful method for evaluating the severity of myocardial ischemia. We evaluated whether the severity of coronary arterial stenosis could be assessed by the signal-intensity time curve (SITC) obtained by myocardial perfusion MRI. The subjects consisted of 10 patients who showed no abnormalities on coronary angiographies (CAG) (A group), 12 w...
متن کاملQuantitative myocardial perfusion imaging using a step arterial-input function
Background Modern MRI myocardial perfusion protocols use rapid venous bolus injections, typically 3-5 ml/s of 5-15 ml of agent over a few seconds. The resulting arterial input functions are rapidly varying with high agent concentrations (Fig. 1A and 1B) and thus typically require high temporal resolution acquisitions (~1 sec), custom pulse sequences and complex processing methods for perfusion ...
متن کاملQuantification of myocardial perfusion by cardiovascular magnetic resonance
The potential of contrast-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for a quantitative assessment of myocardial perfusion has been explored for more than a decade now, with encouraging results from comparisons with accepted "gold standards", such as microspheres used in the physiology laboratory. This has generated an increasing interest in the requirements and methodological approaches ...
