چکیده

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance first-pass perfusion imaging has developed considerably over the past decade. Several studies have shown that this technique is accurate for the detection of myocardial ischemia. In this article we outline the procedure of myocardial perfusion imaging with cardiovascular magnetic resonance as it is performed at our centers, describe the sequences that are currently used in more detail, review our process of image interpretation, and highlight potential pitfalls that we have encountered in our experience with performing this technique in over 2000 patients.

Non-invasive evaluation of coronary vasospasm using a combined hyperventilation and cold-pressure-test perfusion CMR protocol.

Coronary vasospasm is a severe vasoconstriction of an epicardial coronary artery, which may lead to myocardial ischemia and cause symptoms of angina. The gold-standard for diagnosing coronary vasospasm is to perform an intracoronary provocation test and to demonstrate the epicardial vasoconstriction by coronary angiography. We report the case of a patient with coronary vasospasm in whom we succ...

Magnetic resonance imaging of myocardial perfusion in single-vessel coronary artery disease: implications for transmural assessment of myocardial perfusion.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess transmural differences in myocardial perfusion. Contrast-enhanced MRI was performed at rest and during hyperemia in a dog model and in 22 patients with single-vessel coronary artery disease. From MR signal intensity-versus-time curves, three perfusion parameters were derived: maximum myocardi...

Impact of errors in determining the start of myocardial enhancement during quantitative first pass perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

Background Several studies have shown the potential of semi-quantitative and fully-quantitative analysis of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) perfusion images in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, estimates of myocardial blood flow (MBF) rely on accurate selection of important timing parameters. In this study, we evaluate how the identification of the timing of the S...

Interstudy reproducibility of quantitative perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

PURPOSE To determine the interstudy reproducibility of quantitative first-pass perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance with comparison of 2 previously described analysis techniques. There is no published data on the interstudy reproducibility of perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance which can be used to determine the significance of longitudinal changes in myocardial perfusion after p...

Imaging sequences for first pass perfusion --a review.

Myocardial perfusion imaging sequences and analysis techniques continue to improve. We review the state-of-the-art in cardiovascular magnetic resonance first pass perfusion pulse sequences including the application of parallel imaging. There are a wide range of sequence designs and parameters to consider when optimizing an acquisition protocol. The interdependence of these parameters forces the...
