Abstract
This review highlights the development and application of quantitative myocardial perfusion by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and discusses recent innovations in this area. First pass, contrast-enhanced CMR can accurately quantify myocardial perfusion in order to diagnose obstructive coronary artery disease and microvascular dysfunction. Quantitative analysis conveys additional prognostic information beyond other CMR findings. New, fully automated techniques may aid standardization of methods across centers. CMR quantitative perfusion has robust performance for the diagnosis of obstructive coronary disease and microvascular dysfunction and conveys prognostic information. Adoption of automated post-processing and standardized protocols will further strengthen CMR in its position as the modality of choice for the evaluation of possible myocardial ischemia.
