Detection of myocardial ischemia: value of combined myocardial perfusion and cineangiographic MR imaging.

Abstract

Initial results indicate that a combination of stress MR myocardial perfusion imaging and MR ventriculography is feasible and that this technique can detect myocardial ischemia with an accuracy similar to that of scintigraphy. This technique may make more complete noninvasive assessment of myocardial ischemia possible.
