ROBUST MYOCARDIAL BLOOD OXYGEN LEVEL DEPENDENT MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING WITH IMPROVED PATIENT COMFORT

摘要

The invention provides various methods for imaging a subject's cardiovascular system. The imaging method may be used to provide a diagnosis or prognosis of various cardiovascular diseases in the subject, without contrast agents or radioactive tracers, and further generating a Gaussian Mixture Model to obtain a reference value of a normal myocardium.
