Image registration and analysis for quantitative myocardial perfusion: application to dynamic circular cardiac CT.
Large area detector computed tomography systems with fast rotating gantries enable volumetric dynamic cardiac perfusion studies. Prospectively, ECG-triggered acquisitions limit the data acquisition to a predefined cardiac phase and thereby reduce x-ray dose and limit motion artefacts. Even in the case of highly accurate prospective triggering and stable heart rate, spatial misalignment of the c...
متن کاملComparison of blood flow models and acquisitions for quantitative myocardial perfusion estimation from dynamic CT.
Myocardial blood flow (MBF) can be estimated from dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) cardiac CT acquisitions, leading to quantitative assessment of regional perfusion. The need for low radiation dose and the lack of consensus on MBF estimation methods motivates this study to refine the selection of acquisition protocols and models for CT-derived MBF. DCE cardiac CT acquisitions were simulated for ...
متن کاملQualitative and quantitative myocardial perfusion with arterial spin labeling
Introduction A reduction of myocardial blood perfusion is the main physio-pathologic mechanism determining ischemic heart disease. Whilst SPECT and echocardiography are considered the reference standards for imaging perfusion defects, MRI techniques are emerging. Dynamic imaging of the first-pass of a contrast agent is currently the most frequently used of these techniques, however, guidelines ...
متن کاملRelationship between Baseline ECG Abnormalities and Quantitative Perfusion Parameters of Myocardial Perfusion Findings
Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the major causes of mortality in most countries. Electrocardiography (ECG) and myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) are non-invasive disgnostic tests for CAD. Finding a relationship between abnormal findings in the baseline ECG and MPI findings can be helpful in better diagnosis of CAD. Materials and Methods: The present study examined ECG of pa...
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 ...
