Time-efficient myocardial contrast partition coefficient measurement from early enhancement with magnetic resonance imaging.
OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to validate an early enhancement time point for accurately measuring the myocardial contrast partition coefficient (lambda) using dynamic-equilibrium magnetic resonance imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The pre- and post-contrast longitudinal relaxation rates (reciprocal of...
