Excerpt

Quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) using first-pass perfusion MRI has potential to objectively evaluate ischemic heart disease. While considerable development and clinical research has been conducted during the past two decades on this topic, there lacks a perfusion flow mapping solution that runs on the MRI scanner and produces MBF maps immediately following the perfusion scan. To be effective in a clinical environment we identified following capabilities are needed: fully automated workflow, pixel-wise flow calculation, single-bolus contrast injection, complete free-breathing acquisition, rapid processing, and inline deployment. …
