From: Dark-rim-free ungated first-pass perfusion CMR with 3-Slice end-systolic imaging: initial experience

Figure 2

Representative images from the CAD patient study (top row: vasodilator stress; bottom row: rest, yellow arrows point to perfusion defects). (a) End-systolic 3-slice images for the proposed Ungateed Cine FPP method (1.7 × 1.7 mm2 in-plane resolution). (b) Corresponding PET myocardial perfusion slices (mild ischemia qith 6% stress-induced defect in the anter-lateral wall at mild-basal slices). (c) Conventional ECG-gateed SR-prepared FPP images (red arrow points to dark-rim artifact). The Ungated Cine FPP images are in strong agreement with the PET study and have higher quality than conventional FPP.
