Validation of dynamic three-dimensional whole heart magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging against single photon emission computed tomography for the detection of functionally significant coronary heart disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate the feasibility of 3D myocardial perfusion CMR at 3 Tesla against single photon emission computer tomography for the detection and estimate of ischaemic burden and show good agreement between the techniques. This novel technique shows promising use of this method in a small cohort of patients to estimate ischaemic burden for purpose of risk stratification of patients with known or suspected coronary disease.

Quantitative whole-heart three-dimensional magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging in systole and diastole at 3.0T
Background Two-dimensional (2D) perfusion-CMR has been shown to have greater diagnostic accuracy than single-photon emission computed tomography but remains limited by a lack of complete myocardial coverage. Three-dimensional (3D) whole-heart myocardial perfusion CMR addresses this limitation and has recently been shown to be clinically feasible. However, the feasibility and potential clinical ...
متن کاملNoninvasive Imaging for the Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease
Noninvasive cardiac imaging is a cornerstone of the diagnostic work-up in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and congenital heart disease. It is essential for the assessment of CAD from functional and anatomical perspectives, and is considered the gate-keeper to invasive coronary angiography. Cardiac tests include exercise electrocardiography, ...
متن کاملPrediction of Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery by Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography
Introduction: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is considered to be the single most important prognostic factor in patients with previous myocardial infarction. LVEF is not improved in all patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to assess the possibility of prediction of LVEF changes after CABG using myocardial perfusion gated signle photon emission compu...
متن کاملMetabolic imaging Magnetic resonance perfusion imaging for detection of ischemic heart disease
In recent years, magnetic resonance first-pass perfusion imaging (MRPI) has developed from a research technique to a mature clinical application. Sufficient evidence has been presented to demonstrate that a high-quality MRPI scan is at least as good as a single photon emission computed tomography scan for the diagnosis of significant coronary artery disease. The ability of this new technique to...
