Synopsis
Imaging of Myocardial Perfusion & Scar
TARGET AUDIENCE
Clinicians and researchers interested in cardiac
MRI myocardial perfusion and scar imaging will benefit from this lecture. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of
this presentation, participants will be able to:
-
Discuss the clinical role of perfusion
and scar imaging
-
Describe acquisition and analysis
approaches for perfusion and scar imaging
- Identify findings of common diseases
on perfusion and scar imaging
PURPOSE
The purpose of this presentation is to discuss
the clinical role, imaging acquisition and analysis techniques and expected findings
related to cardiac MRI myocardial perfusion and scar imaging. SUMMARY
Contrast material–enhanced myocardial perfusion and
scar imaging using cardiac MRI is routinely used in clinical practice,
providing important diagnostic and prognostic information. Advantages over
other modalities include high spatial resolution and absence of
ionizing radiation. This lecture will discuss technical limitations and
challenges and practical analysis approaches. Acknowledgements
