Dynamic contrast enhanced cardiac perfusion imaging. Contrast agent is injected intravenously whilst multiple images of the heart are acquired to create a movie showing the contrast agent passing through the heart. Contrast agent can be seen as signal enhancement in the right ventricular cavity (RV) followed by the left ventricular cavity (LV) and more gradually in the myocardium, before finally washing out.
