Magnetic resonance evaluation of regional left ventricular function. Effect of through-plane motion.

abstract：RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:Emulsions of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) have been tested as blood substitutes. However, evidence exists that there is long-term retention of some PFCs by the organs of the reticuloendothelial system (RES). The authors investigate organ retention of the blood substitute component, perfluorotripropy...
