SW-CG-HYPR
is a promising method to improve the myocardial perfusion MR imaging with
reduced acquisition window, increased spatial coverage, improved spatial
resolution and SNR. In this work, 10 patients with suspected CAD were scanned
at 3.0T with SW-CG-HYPR. Our initial results show that myocardial perfusion
MRI at 3.0T with SW-CG-HYPR is feasible in a clinical population, and has
high image quality and diagnostic accuracy in patients with suspected CAD.
