From: Artifacts-reduced 2D cine SSFP with flow compensation for myocardial BOLD imaging
Representative cardiac phase-dependent short-axis mid-LV images [upper row: late-systole (LS); lower row: late-diastole (LD)] obtained from a dog model with no coronary artery stenosis under rest (left column), with severe LCX stenosis under adenosine stress (right column(using flow-compensated 2D SSFP sequence. The scan parameters were: TR = 6.2 ms, FA = 70°, TRES = 12 ms. Note the discriminating signal loss in the LCX territories marked by arrows (short arc) in the presence of LCX stenosis.
