Quantification of Myocardial Blood Flow in the Presence of Remaining Contrast Agent - a Simulation Study
INTRODUCTION Quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) using first-pass dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI is based on the relationship between signal intensity (SI) and concentration of administered contrast agent (CA). In general, in measurements of MBF this relationship is assumed to be linear, but in reality it is more complex. Therefore, residual CA from previous injections remaining ...
متن کاملIs the rest perfusion measurement necessary for the diagnosis of myocardial ischaemia in quantitative cardiac perfusion? A CE-MARC sub-study
Background Diagnostic studies using dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI perfusion imaging typically evaluate perfusion in terms of the myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR), which is the ratio of stress to rest myocardial blood flow (MBF) measurements. The aim of this study was to establish whether or not, in the case of absolute MBF quantitation, the MPR exhibits a diagnostic advantage over the s...
متن کاملMyocardial microvascular function at rest and stress measured with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI
Background DCE MRI has been used to estimate myocardial perfusion (blood flow, Fb) but there has been little work published on using this technique to measure related microvascular characteristics, such as microvessel permeability-surface area product (PS) and interstitial volume (extra-vascular extra-cellular volume, ve). The reason may be that transport of Gd-DTPA in resting myocardium is tho...

متن کاملReducing variability in dual bolus cardiac MRI by using empirical contrast ratios
Background Cardiac perfusion MRI enables quantification of myocardial blood flow in ml/min/g. However, signal intensity (SI) saturation of the arterial input function (AIF) leads to underestimation of the AIF and errors in perfusion quantification. Dual bolus experiments avoid this by using an unsaturated dilute bolus to measure the AIF and have been shown to be accurate against gold standard m...
