Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI is maturing as a tool in contemporary cardiovascular medicine. A self-gated method that avoids the use of ECG-gating signal has been validated by us for quantitative myocardial perfusion. Our most recent study looks at the inter-study repeatability of this quantitative self-gated method. Our findings show that the multi-slice self-gated (near-systole) approach has a comparable or better repeatability than published ECG-gated single slice studies. The purpose of this abstract is to summarize these findings from our recent work, highlighting the simplicity, ease of use and reliability of the self-gated method for quantitative myocardial perfusion.
