The influence of atherosclerotic plaques on bolus dispersion in contrast-enhanced myocardial perfusion imaging has not yet been studied in detail. In this contribution, we use computational fluid dynamics simulations in a high-detailed coronary vascular model to study the impact of both stenosis grade and morphology on bolus dispersion and, consequently, on MBF quantification.
