Hyperpolarized 13C urea myocardial first-pass perfusion imaging using velocity-selective excitation
Abstract Background A velocity-selective binomial excitation scheme for myocardial first-pass perfusion measurements with hyperpolarized 13C substrates, which preserves bolus magnetization inside the blood pool, is presented. The proposed method is evaluated against gadolinium-enhanced 1H measuremen...
