Cardiac phase-resolved Blood-Oxygen-Level-Dependent
(CP-BOLD) MRI is a new approach for detecting ischemia
at rest. Currently disease assessment relies on
segmental analysis and uses only a few images in the
phase-resolved acquisition. It is expected that using
all phases can permit pixel-level characterization of
CP-BOLD MRI. In this study, state-of-the-art image
registration techniques are evaluated on cardiac BOLD
MRI data for the first time. The results show that
cardiac phase-dependent variations in myocardial BOLD
contrast in CP-BOLD images creates a statistically
significant decrease in the accuracy compared to
standard Cine MR images acquired under conditions of
health and myocardial ischemia.
