Excerpt
We demonstrate the feasibility of 3D myocardial perfusion CMR at 3 Tesla against single photon emission computer tomography for the detection and estimate of ischaemic burden and show good agreement between the techniques. This novel technique shows promising use of this method in a small cohort of patients to estimate ischaemic burden for purpose of risk stratification of patients with known or suspected coronary disease. …
