Quantification of septal and whole slice myocardial blood flow by myocardial perfusion CMR is similar in healthy volunteers

چکیده
Background First pass myocardial perfusion CMR allows quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF). MBF estimation with whole-heart tissue response may be useful in a variety of systemic diseases, but can be limited by suboptimal imaging in one or more segments. The interventricular septum (IVS) offers an attractive target for MBF imaging, as it offers higher signal and less partial volume artefact from blood pool. It has been proposed that T1 measurements taken from the IVS are more reliable than measurements from an entire short axis slice. We hypothesised that MBF estimation from the IVS would be similar to whole-heart estimation.

Methods Rest and adenosine stress perfusion imaging was performed on 17 normal volunteers. A saturation recovery SSFP dual-sequence technique was used to acquire three myocardial slices and an arterial input function (AIF) image series. A proton-density weighted image was acquired at the beginning of each series. Fully quantitative perfusion pixel maps were generated by an automated processing ...
