Figure 1
An example of myocardial BOLD images in comparison with stress first-pass perfusion images. Top panel, images from a patient with significant LAD stenosis; Bottom panel, images from a patient with significant right coronary artery stenosis. The BOLD index [(stress signal - rest signal)/rest signal] matched the perfusion deficits observed in the stress perfusion images. However, subendocardial perfusion deficit could not be assessed in the BOLD index map. Images courtesy of Dr. Jayanth R. Arnold at University of Oxford, United Kingdom, and Dr. Joseph B.
