Figure 2From: Quantitative whole-heart three-dimensional magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging in systole and diastole at 3.0TThese charts show the individual myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) values from normal and significantly diseased perfusion territories with both systolic and diastolic acquisition (x=mean value, solid line = median value). The optimal cut-off MPR values determined by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis are also plotted (dashed lines, 1.75 for systole and 2.02 for diastole). ROC analysis found MPR had a high diagnostic accuracy for the detection of CAD, in both systole and diastole (area under curve: 0.92 vs. 0.94 respectively; p=0.41).Back to article page
