Figure 4. 67-year-old male patient with three-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) (LAD 50%, RCX 70%, RCA 100%). Rest/stress perfusion series (8 of 40 images) in short-axis angulations are shown using a SR-TrueFISP sequence (see Figure 2 for parameters) after injection of 0.05 mmol kg–1 gadobutrol. (a) Homogeneous enhancement of the left ventricular myocardium is evident in rest examinations. (b) A stress-induced perfusion deficit (white arrows) is visible in the inferior lateral part of the left ventricle. (c) Corresponding coronary angiography demonstrating the RCA occlusion and high-grade RCX stenosis.
