Multislice First-Pass Mycoardial Perfusion Imaging on a Conventional Clinical Scanner
Edward G. Walsh, Mark Doyle, Mark A. Lawson, Gerald G. Blackwell, Gerald M. Pohost
A technique is demonstrated for the acquisition and processing of multislice, first-pass contrast enhanced perfusion images in the myocardium. The acquisition is a modification of "keyhole" imaging in which time series images are acquired by sampling a limited segment of k-space, corresponding to the low spatial frequencies.
