We demonstrate that projection imaging of first-pass myocardial perfusion is robust to a major cause of the so-called subendocardial dark-rim artifact (DRA); thereby proposing radial k-space sampling as the preferred acquisition scheme for DRA-free perfusion imaging.
A new approach to myocardial first-pass perfusion imaging is presented; this technique, called SSFPP, is based on 3D SSFP sequence whereby magnetization is maintained in constant steady-state, while data acquisition is gated to diastole. This results in high SNR and CNR, and other characteristics th
## Abstract A dark band or rim along parts of the subendocardial border of the left ventricle (LV) and the myocardium has been noticed in some dynamic contrast‐enhanced MR perfusion studies. The artifact is thought to be due to susceptibility effects from the gadolinium bolus, motion, or resolution
## Abstract ## Purpose To determine the regime of linear contrast enhancement in human first‐pass perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to improve accuracy in myocardial perfusion quantification. ## Materials and Methods A total of 10 healthy subjects were studied on a clinic
