All-systolic non-ECG-gated stress perfusion CMR: improved visualization of subendocardial defects compared to conventional ECG-gated imaging
Background The effects of ischemia are first realized in the subendocardium and progress transmurally. Hence, detection of the transmural extent of myocardial perfusion (MP) defects has important diagnostic/prognostic implications. Systolic MP imaging using ECG-gated methods has been shown to provide improved visualization of subendocardial defects [1]. We developed an innovative non-ECGgated p...
متن کاملArtifact-free Non-ECG-Gated First-Pass Myocardial Perfusion MRI: Continuous Acquisition for All-Systolic Imaging
INTRODUCTION: First-pass perfusion (FPP) cardiac MR (CMR) imaging has been shown to have a high performance for diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Reliability of FPP imaging, however, is hindered by dark-rim artifacts (DRAs) and the need for nearperfect ECG gating. The latter can be challenging in the presence of arrhythmias or heart-rate variations during stress. Moreover, endsystolic...
متن کاملImproved left atrial imaging in atrial fibrillation patients using novel ECG-gated vs. conventional non-gated cardiac MRA
Background In patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) procedures, imaging of the left atrium (LA) and pulmonary veins (PV) is important for pre-ablation planning and to identify post ablation complications. Conventional MRA protocols use first-pass, non-gated sequences that require long breathholds. Quality of non-gated MRA’s can be challenging in sick or sedated patients. We developed a n...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of rest/stress ECG-gated Rb-82 myocardial perfusion PET: comparison with ECG-gated Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT.
BACKGROUND Although single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) have evolved considerably over the last decade, there is no recent comparison of diagnostic performance. This study was designed to assess relative image quality, interpretive confidence, and diagnostic accuracy by use of contemporary technology and pr...
