## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate whether an extracellular gadolinium‐(Gd)‐based contrast agent (CA) enters nonperfused myocardium during acute coronary occlusion, and whether nonperfused myocardium presents as hyperintense in delayed contrast‐enhanced (DE) MR images in the absence of CA in th

## Abstract A dual‐bolus protocol can overcome limitations due to T1‐induced MR signal attenuation and hence enables more accurate quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) by contrast enhanced MR perfusion imaging. The study explores potential benefits of the dual‐bolus technique for the asses
Background. Most previous studies on the accuracy of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) are hampered by post-test referral bias, in that referral for coronary angiography was influenced by the MPI result. In this way, patients with a normal MPI result less frequently underwent catheterization, a ten
## Abstract The aim of this study was to improve the biological properties of ^99m^Tc–TBI complex for myocardial perfusion imaging. The effect of Tween‐80 on the biodistribution in mice of ^99m^Tc–TBI was reported. The experimental results show that liver and blood uptakes of Tween‐80 added (TA) co
