A non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging approach for assessment of real-time microcirculation dynamics
Abstract We present a novel, non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique to assess real-time dynamic vasomodulation of the microvascular bed. Unlike existing perfusion imaging techniques, our method is sensitive only to blood volume and not flow velocity. Using graded gas challenges and...
