Cardiovascular magnetic resonance first-pass perfusion imaging has developed considerably over the past decade. Several studies have shown that this technique is accurate for the detection of myocardial ischemia. In this article we outline the procedure of myocardial perfusion imaging with cardiovascular magnetic resonance as it is performed at our centers, describe the sequences that are currently used in more detail, review our process of image interpretation, and highlight potential pitfalls…

Detection of Myocardial Perfusion Defects Using First Pass Perfusion Cardiac MRI Data
TLDR
Simple classification methods applied to FPP-CMR data to detect regions of poor perfusion are proposed and preliminary results show correspondence to regions of scar tissue detected from thresholding of late Gadolinium enhancement CMR imaging.
Quantification in cardiac MRI: advances in image acquisition and processing
TLDR
Methods for automated and robust assessment of the parameters of cardiac function, blood flow and morphology are being developed.
Coronary computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance: Diagnostic utility and specific considerations in the pediatric population.
TLDR
The key technical and practical differences between scanning children and adults are described, and some important considerations that must be taken into account for this patient population are highlighted.
Quantitative myocardial perfusion imaging by cardiovascular magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography
TLDR
The aim of this article is to review the currently available evidence on the use of both PET and CMR for quantification of MPR, with particular attention to the studies that directly compared these two diagnostic methods.
The Role of MRI in Assessing Risk of Future Cardiovascular Disease Events, Including Heart Failure
TLDR
The role of CMR in evaluation of patients with cardiovascular disease is discussed with a particular emphasis on the additional information obtained from the recent developments in the imaging techniques.
Validation of quantitative myocardial perfusion magnetic resonance imaging
TLDR
To enable accurate quantification of human physiology and animal values, and to enable accurate quantitative detection in patients, the use of non-invasive, 3D image analysis is recommended.
Quantitative analysis of transmural gradients in myocardial perfusion magnetic resonance images
TLDR
The new method presented in this article enables characterization of sub‐endocardial to sub‐epicardial gradients in myocardial perfusion based on a two dimensional, “gradientogram” representation, which displays the evolution of the transmural gradient in my cardiac contrast uptake over time in all circumferential positions of the acquired images.

A Free-Breathing Approach to High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Myocardial Perfusion: Fully Automated Motion Compensation with Navigators and Highly Accelerated Imaging Using k-t PCA
TLDR
All necessary steps to perform the motion correction become an integral part of the data acquisition and image reconstruction, thus promoting the clinical feasibility of myocardial perfusion CMR in general.

TLDR
The procedure of delayed enhancement imaging performed at the center is outlined, the seg IR-FGE sequence is described in more detail, including the process for choosing sequence settings, the process of image interpretation, and potential pitfalls are highlighted.
Magnetic Resonance Perfusion Measurements for the Noninvasive Detection of Coronary Artery Disease
TLDR
The determination of MPRI with MRI yields a high diagnostic accuracy in patients with suspected CAD, and is able to differentiate ischemic and nonischemic segments.
Noninfarcted myocardium: correlation between dynamic first-pass contrast-enhanced myocardial MR imaging and quantitative coronary angiography.
TLDR
In patients without myocardial infarction, stress enhancement at dynamic MR imaging correlates more closely with quantitative coronary angiography results than does stress enhancementAt SPECT.

Combined long- and short-axis myocardial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
TLDR
Rest-stress myocardial perfusion CMR is able to achieve complete segmental coverage of the myocardium using the combined short-long axis approach using an EPI sequence in 97% of a long series of consecutive cardiology patients, while maintaining excellent spatial resolution.
Standardized myocardial segmentation and nomenclature for tomographic imaging of the heart. A statement for healthcare professionals from the Cardiac Imaging Committee of the Council on Clinical Cardiology of the American Heart Association.
TLDR
Attempts to standardize these options for all cardiac imaging modalities should be based on the sound principles that have evolved from cardiac anatomy and clinical needs.
Myocardial perfusion reserve: assessment with multisection, quantitative, first-pass MR imaging.
TLDR
The myocardial perfusion reserve can be quantified with first-pass MR imaging and in patients with microvascular dysfunction, the myocardIAL perfusion Reserve matches the reduced coronary flow reserve.
Myocardial First-Pass Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Multicenter Dose-Ranging Study
TLDR
First-pass perfusion MRI is a safe and accurate test for identifying patients with obstructive coronary artery disease and a low dose of gadopentetate dimeglumine injection is at least as efficacious as higher doses.
Noninvasive detection of myocardial ischemia from perfusion reserve based on cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
TLDR
MR first-pass perfusion measurements yielded a high diagnostic accuracy for the detection of coronary artery disease and can be easily and reproducibly determined by a linear fit of the upslope of the signal intensity-time curves.
