Figure 3. Impact of TS on M-PD rel. and BM signal ratio evaluated in numerical simulations.

Figure 3

(A) and (B) M-PD rel. plotted as a function of TS and defect T1 times at peak myocardium with bolus injections of 0.075 mmol/kg and 0.05 mmol/kg, respectively. The dashed line highlights the TS/T1 defect combination with highest M-PD rel. (C) and (D) BM signal ratio calculated as a function of TS and blood T1/T2 times at simulated peak blood and peak myocardium, respectively. BM, blood-to-myocardium signal ratio; M-PD, myocardium-perfusion defect contrast; M-PD rel., relative M-PD contrast
