Key result
Segmented phase contrast MRI at 3T with parallel imaging successfully quantified average coronary sinus flow at 88 ± 33 ml/min and global LV perfusion at 0.60 ± 0.22 ml/min·g in healthy volunteers.
Why the study?
Does segmented phase contrast MR on a 3T scanner allow for quantification of coronary sinus flow and global LV perfusion in volunteers?

Does segmented phase contrast MR on a 3T scanner allow for quantification of coronary sinus flow and global LV perfusion in volunteers?
The combination of 3T MRI, parallel imaging, and segmented gradient echo sequences allows for reproducible quantification of coronary sinus flow and global LV perfusion within a single breath-hold.

Enables noninvasive coronary flow quantification in volunteers; leaves open clinical translation pending patient validation.
Bloch et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=12). 3T segmented phase contrast MRI with SENSE was evaluated on Average coronary sinus (CS) flow. Segmented phase contrast MRI at 3T with parallel imaging successfully quantified average coronary sinus flow at 88 ± 33 ml/min and global LV perfusion at 0.60 ± 0.22 ml/min·g in healthy volunteers.
