Figure 3From: 151 myocardial blood flow estimation using a model-independent deconvolution method at 3 T MRI: comparison to N-ammonia PETA scatter plot of the rest and stress flow values using 3 T MRI and 13N-ammonia PET. The equation of the linear fit is y = 1.12x + .21 (r = 0.83). A model-independent deconvolution analysis method that uses iterative minimization and a temporal smoothness constraint was used to compute blood flow estimates from 3 T MR images. Myocardial blood flow measured using dynamic 13N-Ammonia PET gave similar results.Back to article page
