Quantitative measurement of myocardial blood volume
(MBV) may have importance as a biomarker for
cardiovascular disease, but measurement is complicated
by errors introduced by water exchange between the
intravascular and extravascular compartments. Here, we
use ferumoxytol to measure water exchange rates in the
myocardium and calculate quantitative MBV in a cohort of
healthy volunteers. Our measured MBV and water exchange
frequencies fall within the expected range seen in the
literature from animal studies.
