| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to describe the upslope method-derived myocardial perfusion index using the parameters based on a tracer kinetic model of iodixanol contrast agent and to validate this theoretically derived relationship using an ischemic canine model. The established modified Kety model was used to describe the extravascular diffusion of iodixanol contrast agent, which undergoes no cellular uptake or metabolism. This model consists of two functional compartments, one describing the vascular compartment and the second representing all myocardial capillaries, interstitium, and cells. These compartments are connected by two rate constants, K and k, which represent the first-order transfer constants from the left ventricular (LV) blood to myocardium and from myocardium to the vascular system, respectively. In the early phase after the arrival of contrast agent in the myocardium, the relationship between K and the concentrations of iodixanol contrast agent in the myocardium and arterial blood (LV blood) is described by K = {dC) (Eq. 1), where C(t) is the relative concentration of iodixanol contrast agent in the myocardium at time t, C(t) is the relative concentration of iodixanol contrast agent in the LV blood, and t is the time at the peak of C(t) and maximum upslope of C(t). Six canine models of left anterior descending (LAD) artery stenosis were prepared and underwent first-pass contrast-enhanced mult-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) perfusion imaging during adenosine infusion (0.14–0.21 mg/kg/min) to study a wide range of flow rates. K was measured using the Patlak plot method and upslope method applied to time-attenuation curve data of the LV blood pool and myocardium. The results were compared against microsphere myocardial blood flow measurements. The Patlak plot-derived K and upslope method-derived K showed a good linear association. Regional K can be measured accurately using the upslope method-derived myocardial perfusion index based on a compartment model. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
