Objectives: This study was designed to establish the diagnostic accuracy of cardiovascular
magnetic resonance (CMR) perfusion imaging at 3-Tesla (T) in suspected coronary artery
disease (CAD). Background: Myocardial perfusion imaging is considered one of the most
compelling applications for CMR at 3-T. The 3-T systems provide increased signal-to-noise
ratio and contrast enhancement (compared with 1.5-T), which can potentially improve spatial
resolution and image quality. Methods: Sixty-one patients (age 64±8 years) referred for …
