Does Velocity-encoded cine (VEC) MR imaging accurately measure coronary sinus flow compared to flow probes in dogs?
VEC MR imaging shows potential as a noninvasive modality to quantify global LV perfusion by measuring coronary sinus flow.
VEC MR imaging has the potential to measure coronary sinus flow during different physiologic conditions and can serve as a noninvasive modality to quantify global LV perfusion in patients.
Lund et al. (2000) studied this question.
