Multislice first‐pass myocardial perfusion imaging: Comparison of saturation recovery (SR)‐TrueFISP‐two‐dimensional (2D) and SR‐TurboFLASH‐2D pulse sequences

Abstract

SR-TrueFISP-2D perfusion imaging provides superior SNR and CNR than TurboFLASH imaging. Moreover, the dynamic range of SIs was found to be higher with TrueFISP, resulting in an increased sensitivity for detection of perfusion defects.
