Assessment of segmental agreement of T2 mapping versus triple inversion recovery in detection of acute myocardial edema

Abstract Background There are some limitations using the different sequences of clinical cardiac magnetic resonance (cardiac MR) in detection edema patients presenting with acute myocardial injury. The purpose this study is to evaluate segmental agreement between sequences: T2 mapping and turbo inversion recovery magnitude (TIRM) edema. Results Thirty-seven presented infarction were sent MR assess All studies scanned cine, TIRM, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) short axis views (SAX). Position slices copied from TIRM. left ventricle (LV) was divided into apical, mid, basal segments per visualization papillary muscles. Edema mass assessed separately each segment as well total both TIRM mapping. Twenty-four whom 12.5% had multi-territorial coronary lesions assessed. Myocardial not thirteen (35%) due significant intra hemorrhage (T2 < 60 ms). No statistical significance found neither amount ( p = 0.79), nor LV basal, apical segments’ 0.69, 0.5, 0.8 respectively). upper lower limits agreements tested mass, segments, ventricular 18 − 7.7 g, 11.3 5.1 12.3 5.2 15.5 7.8 g respectively. Conclusion This supports proof principle that there no difference routine edema’s sequences. Larger recommended impact outcome.
