Zusammenfassung
Purpose: Myocardial perfusion imaging is increasingly used for the detection of myocardial ischaemia. It enables an assessment of the hemodynamic relevance of coronary artery stenoses. Here, high field perfusion imaging at 3.0T should contribute increased SNR and CNR compared to 1.5T. Due to technical and physical reasons, sequence techniques which perform well at 1.5T may not be implemented for 3.0T without prior modifications. Aim of the study was to investigate the feasibility of myocardial perfusion imaging at 3.0T. Material and Methods: 16 patients with a history of coronary artery disease were examined at…
