Feasibility of free-breathing quantitative myocardial perfusion using multi-echo Dixon magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract Dynamic contrast-enhanced quantitative first-pass perfusion using magnetic resonance imaging enables non-invasive objective assessment of myocardial ischemia without ionizing radiation. However, quantification of perfusion is challenging due to the non-linearity between the magnetic resonan...
