Synopsis

Keywords: Heart, Diffusion/other diffusion imaging techniques, Computed DWIDiagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) remains challenge since it’s still difficult to quantify the infarction area, and to assess prognosis. Cardiac DWI could provide essential information for diagnosis of MI without exogenous contrast agents. Higher b-value DWI could improve the detection rate of myocardial infarction, but it is challenging for image acquisition in cardiac DWI due to low SNR and motion. The present study aimed to combine the 2nd order motion compensated diffusion with computed DWI to overcome these challenges. Results of this study indicates the combination is potentially a promising and valuable non-invasive method in detection of MI.
