## Abstract Fast imaging techniques allow monitoring of contrast medium (CM) first‐pass kinetics in a multislice mode. Employing shorter recovery times improves cardiac coverage during first‐pass conditions, but potentially flattens signal response in the myocardium. The aim of this study was there

## Abstract Myocardial perfusion can be estimated, in principle, from first‐pass MR images by converting the __T__~1~‐weighted signal–time curves to contrast agent concentration–time curves. Typically, __T__~1~ weighting is achieved by saturating the magnetization with a nonselective radiofrequency
## Abstract ## Purpose To compare quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and first‐pass perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (FPP‐MRI) in symptomatic patients with nonsevere coronary stenosis to detect a reduced coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR). ## Materials and Methods In 35 patients, FPP
## Abstract ## Purpose To develop a contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) technique to measure skeletal muscle perfusion in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). ## Materials and Methods A total of 11 patients (age = 61 ± 11 years) with mild to moderate symptomatic PAD (ankle‐brachial index [AB
## Abstract ## Purpose To probe the potential and pitfalls of contrast medium first‐pass skeletal muscle perfusion imaging under reproducible stress conditions. ## Materials and Methods Magnetic resonance (MR) signal dynamics in calf muscle and lower‐leg arteries of 20 healthy volunteers were an
