Physiologic stress CMR perfusion is challenging due to
the patients inability to breath-hold after exercise.
Perfusion imaging is commonly performed using Cartesian
sampling of k-space. Alternative sampling schemes, such
as radial or spiral, have demonstrated reduction of
dark-rim artifacts in the myocardium, which are commonly
observed in acquisitions with Cartesian sampling.
However, the comparison of Cartesian and non-Cartesian
CMR perfusion after physical exercise has not yet been
evaluated. In this study, we sought to compare Cartesian
sampling and radial sampling for accelerated perfusion
acquired after physiologic stress with an MR-compatible
supine bicycle ergometer.
