Right ventricle shape and contraction patterns and relation to magnetic resonance imaging findings.

abstract：PURPOSE:First-pass perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a promising technique for detecting ischemic heart disease. However, the diagnostic value of the method is limited by the low spatial coverage, resolution, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and cardiac motion-related image artifacts. A combination of sliding w...
