Accelerated 2D multi-slice first-pass contrast-enhanced myocardial perfusion using through-time radial GRAPPA
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Non-Cartesian parallel imaging is a promising approach for reducing the scan time in multi-slice first-pass myocardial perfusion imaging, allowing increasing volumetric coverage in comparison with standard techniques. Through-time radial GRAPPA has previously been demonstrated for real-time functional cardiac imaging [Seiberlich, et al. MRM 2011 Feb;65 (2):492-505]. In this work, the through-time radial GRAPPA technique is applied for the acquisition of fifteen slices per heartbeat during a contrast-enhanced myocardial perfusion examination.

Three dimensional first-pass myocardial perfusion imaging at 3T: feasibility study
BACKGROUND In patients with ischemic heart disease, accurate assessment of the extent of myocardial perfusion deficit may be important in predicting prognosis of clinical cardiac outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare the ability of three dimensional (3D) and of two dimensional (2D) multi-slice myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in determini...

H. Pedersen, S. Ringgaard, W. Y. Kim The MR Research Centre, Skejby Hospital, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus N, Denmark INTRODUCTION Quantitative analysis of myocardial perfusion using free-breathing first-pass perfusion MRI is degraded by respiratory induced motion of the heart. Conventional strategies to correct this motion include the manual alignment of each image to fit a reference ima...
متن کاملSystolic 3D first-pass myocardial perfusion MRI
Introduction: First-pass myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is now an established tool for the assessment of ischemic heart disease, and the most widely used protocols involve 2D multi-slice acquisition. Three-dimensional (3D) MPI is potentially advantageous due to its contiguous spatial coverage and high SNR [1], and has been recently shown to be more accurate than 2D multi-slice techniques in...
متن کاملAcquisition and reconstruction of undersampled radial data for myocardial perfusion magnetic resonance imaging.
PURPOSE To improve myocardial perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by reconstructing undersampled radial data with a spatiotemporal constrained reconstruction method (STCR). MATERIALS AND METHODS The STCR method jointly reconstructs all of the time-frames for each slice. In 7 subjects at rest, on a 3-T scanner, the method was compared with a conventional (GRAPPA) Cartesian approach. R...
