Evaluation of hemodynamic patterns is often an essential component of the cardiac MRI exam. We hypothesized that cine fast interrupted steady-state (FISS) ASL could prove advantageous for demonstrating flow patterns in the heart and great vessels and tested this technique in 19 patients undergoing cardiac MRI for standard indications. We found that cine FISS ASL is a robust, efficient imaging technique that is easily incorporated into cardiac MRI protocols and shows promise for depicting abnormal blood flow patterns in patients with a variety of cardiovascular disorders, including aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and congenital shunts.
