First-Pass Contrast-Enhanced Myocardial Perfusion MRI Using a Maximum Up-Slope Parametric Map.

Magnetic resonance first-pass perfusion imaging offers a noninvasive method for the rapid, accurate, and reproducible assessment of cardiac function without ionizing radiation. Quantitative or semiquantitative analysis of changes in signal intensity (SI) over the whole image sequence yields a more e...
