Myocardial Perfusion

Spatio-Temporal Modelling of First-Pass Perfusion Cardiovascular MRI

Myocardial perfusion MRI provides valuable insight into how coronary artery and microvascular diseases affect myocardial tissue. Stenosis in a coronary vessel leads to reduced maximum blood flow (MBF), but collaterals may secure the blood supply of …

Attenuation Resilient AIF Estimation Based on Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling for First Pass Myocardial Perfusion MRI

Non-linear attenuation of the Arterial Input Function (AIF) is a major problem in first-pass MR perfusion imaging due to the high concentration of the contrast agent in the blood pool. This paper presents a technique to reconstruct the true AIF using …
