Intramyocardial hemorrhage: An enigma for cardiac MRI? [PDF]
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a useful noninvasive technique for determining the presence of microvascular obstruction (MVO) and intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH), frequently occurring in patients after reperfused myocardial infarction (MI ...

Dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging [PDF]
Non-invasive cardiac imaging has rapidly evolved during the last decade due to advancements in CT based technologies. Coronary CT angiography has been shown to reliably assess coronary anatomy and detect high risk coronary artery disease. However, this technique is limited to anatomical assessment, thus non-invasive techniques for functional assessment

Dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging
Cardiac CT offers several approaches to establish the hemodynamic severity of coronary artery obstructions. Dynamic myocardial perfusion CT (MPICT) is based on serial CT imaging to measure the inflow of contrast medium into the myocardium and calculate absolute measures of myocardial perfusion. This review describes the MPICT acquisition protocol, post-

Image Registration in Myocardial Perfusion MRI [PDF]
In clinical first-pass myocardial perfusion studies, physiological and patient motions are inevitable. Such motions impair the sensitivity and reliability in assessing myocardial perfusion abnormalities. The current study aims to correct the misregistration of myocardium during first-pass perfusion imaging by using a normalized mutual information ...
