چکیده
Figure 3: (left) First-pass perfusion images in a mouse with myocardial infarction. (right) Signal intensity-time curves extracted from three different ROIs. At time ‘A’, a lower rate of contrast agent uptake was seen in the infarcted myocardium, followed by a period of delayed-enhancement ‘B’. Figure 2: (top) Typical first-pass perfusion images in a healthy mouse. (bottom) Signal intensity-time curves (mean ± SD) in left ventricle and myocardium of three different mice. At t = 0 s contrast agent arrived in the right ventricle. Mouse myocardial first-pass perfusion imaging

Accelerated dual-contrast quantitative first-pass perfusion MRI of the mouse heart with compressed sensing
Background Myocardial blood flow (MBF) imaging in gene-modified mice may be used to elucidate molecular mechanisms that underlie coronary vascular function and dysfunction. First pass Gd-enhanced MRI is well-established in humans and has been recently investigated in mice[1-3]. The rapid heart rate and small size of the heart present challenges to performing quantitative first pass imaging in m...
متن کاملHyperpolarized C urea myocardial first- pass perfusion imaging using velocity- selective excitation
Background: A velocity-selective binomial excitation scheme for myocardial first-pass perfusion measurements with hyperpolarized C substrates, which preserves bolus magnetization inside the blood pool, is presented. The proposed method is evaluated against gadolinium-enhanced H measurements in-vivo. Methods: The proposed excitation with an echo-planar imaging readout was implemented on a clinic...
متن کاملFirst-Pass Contrast-Enhanced Myocardial Perfusion MRI in Mice on a 3-T Clinical MR Scanner
First-pass contrast-enhanced myocardial perfusion MRI in rodents has so far not been possible due to the temporal and spatial resolution requirements. We developed a new first-pass perfusion MR method for rodent imaging on a clinical 3.0-T scanner (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) that employed 10-fold k-space and time domain undersampling with constrained image reconstruction, using ...
متن کاملHs8 Saturation Pulse Train for First-pass Myocardial Perfusion Imaging at 7t
Purpose: First-pass myocardial perfusion imaging is used clinically but would benefit from improved image quality. These improvements might be expected at 7T due to higher signal to noise ratio and longer T1 of the myocardium. But major implementation challenges at 7T are found owing to the large B0&B1 variations across the heart, low peak B1, and SAR restrictions that make uniform saturation e...
