Bestimmung der myokardialen Perfusionsreserve bei KHK-Patienten mit der kontrastmittelverstärkten MRT: Ein Vergleich zwischen semiquantitativer und q…
2002
OBJECTIVE Comparison between two semiquantitative methods and a quantitative evaluation of myocardial blood flow (MBF) for assessment of myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) in patients with CAD. MATERIAL AND METHODS 9 patients with coronary stenoses > 50 % were examined with an ECG-gated Saturation Recovery Turbo FLASH sequence by using Gd-DTPA as contrast agent (CA). The entive measurements were performed both during rest and hyperemia induced by adenosine. The up-slopes of the signal-time S(t) curves in the myocardium and left ventricular (LV) cavity were evaluated by a linear fit. MPR was calculated from the original up-slopes of the myocardial S(t) curves and from the up-slopes, which we…
The Effect of Spectral Diffusion on the Saturation Transient Regime
1985
Saturation kinetics of inhomogeneous resonance lines has been investigated in very dilute ruby samples at T=4.2°K by the saturation transient technique. Experimental evidence of the effectiveness of intraline spectral diffusion is reported. Satisfactory agreement is found between the experimental results and a theoretical model in which spectral diffusion is ascribed to the time fluctuations of the hyperfine field. Spectral diffusion times of the order of 10-5 sec are determined.
