Objectives This study hypothesized that arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at 3-T would be a reliable noncontrast technique for measuring peak exercise calf muscle blood flow in both healthy volunteers and patients with peri

Cardiotoxicity due to administration of cancer therapeutic agents such as anthracyclines and herceptin are well described. Established guidelines to screen for chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity (CRC) are primarily based on serial assessment of left

Background The purpose was to determine the reproducibility and utility of rest, exercise, and perfusion reserve (PR) measures by contrast-enhanced (CE) calf perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the calf in normal subjects (NL) and patients

Summary Diffuse myocardial fibrosis in hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is not readily detected by conventional late gadolinium enhanced CMR. Our study was aimed to detect diffuse myocardial fibrosis in these patients as compared to ag

Late gadolinium enhancement can evaluate focal, but not diffuse myocardial fibrosis. T1-mapping techniques can quantify fibrosis by calculating the partition coefficient (λ) of gadolinium (Gd). One method (CI) calculates λ at equilibrium following
