Myocardial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance: optimized dual sequence and reconstruction for quantification

Abstract Background Quantification of myocardial blood flow requires knowledge of the amount of contrast agent in the myocardial tissue and the arterial input function (AIF) driving the delivery of this contrast agent. Accurate quantification is challenged by the lack of linearity between the measur...
