Figure 6

Case example of a 79 year old patient who underwent (a) TGRE 3D whole heart perfusion followed by (b) bSSFP 3D whole heart perfusion. Both images were reconstructed with k-t PCA and show significant ischemia of variable transmurality in the anterior and inferior wall extending from base towards the apex. Angiography showed an occluded proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (QCA = 100%) and a significant proximal stenosis of the right coronary artery (QCA = 85%). The circumflex artery was not considered flow limiting (QCA = 50%). Image quality was scored as 3 for both sequences using k-t PCA reconstruction.
