Abstract: We describe a new sequence capable of measuring both perfusion and myocardial strain using DENSE [ 1 ] in a single scan. The images possess dark-blood contrast and upon infusion of Gd-DTPA, ischemic areas remain bright while normal areas become dark. The phase maps of the same images provide displacement and strain maps, which facilitates the correlation of function and perfusion. This technique should enhance the diagnostic value of time-limited stress tests.
