Myocardial signal response to dipyridamole and dobutamine: Demonstration of the BOLD effect using a double‐echo gradient‐echo sequence
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the differential myocardial signal responses due to the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) effect in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) under differing conditions of myocardial oxygen supply and demand. The signal response was measured when myocardial blood flow was increased in excess of oxygen demand or when flow was increased in response to increased myocardial oxygen demand. Normal volunteers were …
