Perfusion MR studies from a 32 year old healthy volunteer. One dynamic image in the equatorial double-oblique short axis orientation from each study is shown acquired during contrast arrival in the LV myocardium. a) 3.0 Tesla 2x SENSE (3.0/1.0, flip angle, 15°) accelerated perfusion-MR with a spatial resolution of 2.5 × 2.5 × 10 mm3. b) 3.0 Tesla 5x k-t SENSE accelerated perfusion-MR (3.0/1.0, flip angle, 15°) with a spatial resolution of 1.3 × 1.3 × 10 mm3. c) 1.5 Tesla 5x k-t SENSE accelerated perfusion MR (3.0/1.0, flip angle, 15°) with a spatial resolution of 1.5 × 1.5 × 10 mm3. The higher image detail in both k-t SENSE images can be appreciated. The subendocardial dark rim artefact in the septum in the k-t SENSE images appears much thinner relative to the one in the 2x SENSE image. Visually the data sets at 1.5 Tesla and 3.0 Tesla appear of similar quality.
