Cardiac diffusion MRI without motion effects.
We present a method for diffusion tensor MRI in the beating heart that is insensitive to cardiac motion and strain. Using a stimulated echo pulse sequence with two electrocardiogram (ECG) triggers, diffusion-encoding bipolar gradient pulses are applied at identical phases in consecutive cardiac cycles. In this experiment, diffusion is encoded at a single phase in the cardiac cycle of less than ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution spin-echo Cardiac Diffusion-Weighted MRI with motion compensated Convex Optimized Diffusion Encoding (CODE)
Background Cardiac Diffusion Weighted MRI (cDWI) has the potential to characterize myocardial infarction (MI) without contrast. However, the clinical utility of cDWI has been limited by severe sensitivity to cardiac motion that manifests as signal dropouts which corrupt measures of myocardial diffusivity. This can be managed by carefully timing the diffusion encoding gradients (GDiff) to a quie...
متن کاملMultidimensional MRI of Cardiac Motion
Methods for measuring deformation and motion of the human heart in-vivo are crucial in the assessment of cardiac function. Applications ranging from basic physiological research, through early detection of disease to follow-up studies, all benefit from improved methods of measuring the dynamics of the heart. This thesis presents new methods for acquisition, reconstruction and visualization of c...
متن کاملBiomimetic phantom for cardiac diffusion MRI.
PURPOSE Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used to characterize cardiac tissue microstructure, necessitating the use of physiologically relevant phantoms for methods development. Existing phantoms are generally simplistic and mostly simulate diffusion in the brain. Thus, there is a need for phantoms mimicking diffusion in cardiac tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS A biomime...
متن کاملIn vivo cardiac diffusion MRI: second order motion compensated diffusion-prepared balanced steady state free precession (SOMOCO Diff Prep bSSFP)
Background Cardiac diffusion MRI (CDMRI) has the potential to identify acute myocardial ischemia and assess the chronic change of myofiber orientation after a myocardial infarction [1,2]. Cardiac motion and SNR limitations have been the primary challenges for the application of the technique in vivo. A few previous in vivo studies have demonstrated the feasibility of CDMRI in humans using diffu...
