Dynamic cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging for improved assessment of ischemic heart disease
Year: 2015
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most powerful non-invasive imaging modalities whose strengths include flexible tissue contrast, sensitivity to flow, and the lack of any harmful radiation. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a leading cause of death in the western world, and as such, MR approaches for the assessment of IHD have gained considerable attention. This dissertation will describe two improvements in cardiac MRI methodology that are aimed at improving the assessment of IHD: (i) Real-time cardiac imaging and (ii) First-pass myocardial perfusion imaging.
