چکیده
SW-CG-HYPR and the conventional methods. The delineation of the myocardial territories supplied by LCX stenoses in SW-CG-HYPR images is clearly improved as compared to the reference images. Figure 3. Comparison of the signal changes vs. time curves between SW-CG-HYPR and reference methods in a dog study. Figure 1.

Three-Dimensional Myocardial Perfusion MRI Using SW-CG-HYPR
Introduction: First-pass perfusion MRI is a promising technique for detecting ischemic heart disease. However, the diagnostic value of the method is limited by the low spatial coverage, resolution, SNR, and cardiac motion related image artifacts. Parallel imaging methods have been applied in myocardial perfusion MRI, but the spatial coverage and SNR remain limited. Time-resolved data acquisitio...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion MRI with SW-CG-HYPR: a comparison to conventional SR-Turbo-FLASH and x-ray angiography in patients with suspected coronary artery disease
In the current study, we prospectively compared the diagnostic value of SW-CG-HYPR and conventional SRTurbo-FLASH for myocardial perfusion MRI in patients with suspected CAD. Compared with conventional SRTurbo-FLASH, SW-CG-HYPR allows increased spatial coverage (whole left ventricular coverage), improved temporal and spatial resolution and SNR, reduced motion artifacts and has higher diagnostic...
متن کاملFree-breathing myocardial perfusion MRI using SW-CG-HYPR and motion correction.
First-pass perfusion MRI is a promising technique to detect ischemic heart disease. Sliding window (SW) conjugate-gradient (CG) highly constrained back-projection reconstruction (HYPR) (SW-CG-HYPR) has been proposed to increase spatial coverage, spatial resolution, and SNR. However, this method is sensitive to respiratory motion and thus requires breath-hold. This work presents a non-model-base...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion MRI using SW-CG-HYPR for the detection of coronary artery disease
In this work, we have prospectively examined the diagnostic value of adenosine-induced stress myocardial perfusion MRI using SW-CG-HYPR in 50 patients with suspected CAD. Using the high-resolution, whole left ventricle SW-CG-HYPR method, perfusion MRI was able to depict hemodynamically relevant coronary artery stenosis with an accuracy of 90% and 93% based on perpatient and per-vessel analyses,...
متن کاملAdenosine-induced stress myocardial perfusion MRI using SW-CG-HYPR with whole left ventricular coverage: comparison of results with X-ray angiography in patients with suspected CAD
Results The prevalence of CAD was 55%. In the per-patient analysis, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of SW-CG-HYPR myocardial perfusion imaging were 95%, 83% and 90%, respectively. In the per-vessel analysis, these values were 98%, 89% and 93%, respectively. Figure 1 illustrates the detection of significant CAD by SW-CG-HYPR myocardial perfusion imaging with correlation to X-ray corona...
