Figure 4

Stress perfusion images from patients with coronary artery disease using both sequences. Still images from the first pass of contrast agent during adenosine stress from two different patients. 4a is a st-GrE image in a patient with angina. There is a perfusion defect in the inferior/inferoseptal wall (arrows). There is also dark rim artefact visible, particularly in the anteroseptal segment (arrowheads). The patient was subsequently found to have an occluded right coronary artery. 4b is from another patient with angina. The lateral wall is thinned whilst the inferior/inferolateral wall is of normal thickness. There is a subendocardial perfusion defect in both of these regions (arrows). Late gadolinium enhancement revealed scar in the lateral wall but not the inferior/inferoseptal wall (not shown). This patient had a severe lesion in his proximal right coronary artery and an occluded circumflex artery.
