## Abstract Rapid MR imaging (MRI) during the first pass of an injected tracer is used to assess myocardial perfusion with a spatial resolution of 2β3 mm, and to detect any regional impairments of myocardial blood flow (MBF) that may lead to ischemia. The spatial resolution is sufficient to detect

## Abstract K~1~ (firstβorder transfer constant from arterial plasma to myocardium for GdβDTPA) and __Vd__ (distribution volume of GdβDTPA in myocardium) were measured __in vivo__ in a canine model (__n__ = 5) using MRIβderived myocardial perfusion curves and a compartmental model. Perfusion curves
In this paper we present a procedure which automatically extracts soft-tissue from multi-sliced head MRI images, and then displays three-dimensional shapes of the extracted soft-tissues. We use an iterative thresholding algorithm for segmentation in which an optimum threshold value is decided based
## Abstract ## Purpose To compare patients' perceived satisfaction and tolerance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging. ## Materials and Methods A questionnaire was sent retrospectively to 41 patients who had under
