Popis: Background Myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) acquired using firstpass cardiac MRI is a measure of the severity of microvascular coronary dysfunction (MCD) in subjects with signs and symptoms of ischemia but no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) [Shufelt 2011]. Semiquantitative measures (upslopes) have been used to analyze MPR data in the previous work [Shufelt 2011]. In this work, we propose using a fully quantitative myocardial blood flow (MBF) analysis to evaluate whether MPR is different between subjects with MCD and normal controls.
