Keywords: Myocardium, Cardiovascular, Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM); Myocardial Blood Volume(MBV)
Motivation: Myocardial Blood Volume (MBV) is an important factor in the progression of cardiac pathologies.
Goal(s): We proposed to combine a motion-resolved cardiac high-dynamic-range quantitative susceptibility mapping (HDR-QSM) approach with ferumoxytol (an iron-based intravascular contrast agent) to accurately measure myocardial blood volume (MBV).
Approach: HDR-QSM was prescribed in pigs with and without AMI after ferumoxytol administration to investigate the cyclic MBV changes and infarct-induced MBV redistribution in AMI.
Results: Significant MBV difference was observed between systolic and diastolic phases between healthy and infarcted hearts.
Impact: Ferumoxytol-enhanced cardiac QSM has the potential to accurately quantify motion resolved MBV in healthy and diseased hearts.
