AB - Simultaneously optimising parameters such as LV cover-age, image resolution and contrast sensitivity is difficultin first-pass perfusion (FPP). 3D FPP shows potential (1)to improve coverage, but“whole-heart”coveragedemands high acceleration forcing compromises such asloss of spatial resolution. 2D FPP shows high diagnosticability with more slices distributed over alternate-RRcycles (2), relaxing acceleration requirements. This workproposes that 3D FPP could interleave two strategieswith different 3D parameters in alternate cycles, in sumapproaching the full set of desired FPP properties. Thiswork also aims to improve specificity against artefactsby imaging the same myocardium with two differentinterleaved 3D scans (distinct from reformatting a single3D FPP scan). Similar confirmation strategies are oftenused in CMR, such as repetition with swapped phase-encode direction in late-enhancement imaging.
