title = "MR measurements of Gd-DTPA kinetics for estimation of myocardial perfusion",
abstract = "By administering gadolinium-diethylenetriamine-penta-acetic acid (Gd-DTPA) in conjunction with the Turbo-Flash sequence, the authors assessed the potential of dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect and quantify reductions in myocardial perfusion secondary to stenosis and hyperemia induced by Dipyridamole. In ten subjects and three dogs signal intensity-time curves were generated in regions of interest over myocardium. An one-compartment model was introduced to describe the kinetics of Gd-DTPA. The first results indicate that measurements of Gd-DPTA kinetics seem of potential value for the non-invasive assessment of myocardial perfusion.",
