Intra-voxel incoherent motion (IVIM) has the potential
to measure perfusion without contrast agent
administration. Its application to the heart however
remains challenging due to cardiac and respiratory
motion. In this work IVIM data was acquired with a
second order motion compensated diffusion weighted spin
echo sequence in a pig model with myocardial infarction.
The IVIM theory was validated by pre- and post-mortem
comparison in the same animal. Infarcted area identified
by a low perfusion fraction in the IVIM model agreed
with dynamic contrast-enhanced myocardial perfusion
imaging.
