Detection of myocardial ischemia by stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
With recent technical and clinical advances, adenosine stress perfusion MRI has evolved from a promising research tool to an everyday clinical test. This article reviews the current state of stress perfusion MRI. Specifically, it addresses the following topics: validation of stress perfusion MRI in preclinical studies, diagnostic performance in patients, imaging protocol, and image interpretation.
