Novel Approaches to Myocardial Perfusion: 3D First-Pass CMR Perfusion Imaging and Oxygenation-Sensitive
Publisher DOI
Abstract
This article reviews technical aspects and the current status of novel cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) approaches to assessing myocardial perfusion, specifically oxygenation-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging, comparing their diagnostic targets and clinical role with those of other imaging approaches. The paper includes discussions of relevant pathophysiological aspects of myocardial ischemia and the clinical context of revascularization in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. Research using oxygenation-sensitive CMR may play an important role for a better understanding of the interplay of coronary artery stenosis, blood flow reduction, and their impact on actual myocardial ischemia.
