Brief description/objective

Forty-seven consecutive patients underwent k-space and time broad-use linear acquisition speed-up technique accelerated perfusion-cardiac MRI at 1.5 T and dual-source coronary CTA. Catheter coronary angiography (CA), coronary CTA, and perfusion-cardiac MRI were all performed within a median time interval of 7.5 days. Detection of hemodynamically relevant stenoses by the combination of coronary CTA plus perfusion-cardiac MRI was compared with the combination of CA plus perfusion-cardiac MRI, the latter serving as the standard of reference.
