Comparative Study
Phase-sensitive inversion recovery single-shot balanced steady-state free precession for detection of myocardial infarction during a single breathhold.
We sought to show that phase-sensitive detection and a single-shot technique allow imaging of the heart for detection of myocardial infarction during a single breathhold without adaptation of the inversion time. ⋯ PSIR single-shot TrueFISP allows for accurate identification of myocardial infarction during a single breathhold with reduction of scan time by a factor of 38.
