We investigate 2D and 3D non-Cartesian k-space navigator
trajectories for low-rank (subspace) myocardial
perfusion imaging, replacing 1D Cartesian navigators
(which are highly sensitive to readout direction). A
rodent ischemic re-perfusion injury animal model was
used for both whole-heart 3D first-pass and delayed
myocardial perfusion imaging in rats. The resulting 3D
images have high spatiotemporal resolution (128 x 128 x
24 matrix size, 0.31mm x 0.31mm x 1.0 mm spatial
resolution, 74 frames per second) and were used for
analysis of both the first-pass of contrast and of late
enhancement.
