Cardiac diffusion tensor imaging: helix angle (HA) healthy statistical average technique for HA quantification in vivo
Background In vivo Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging (cDTI) has great potential to depict the microstructure of the myocardium, with Mean Diffusivity (MD), Fractional Anisotropy (FA), and Helix Angle (HA) maps. Quantitative analysis of these parameters might help disease diagnosis, however HA is particularly difficult to quantify as it varies across the myocardial wall. To overcome this, we deve...
متن کاملIn vivo cardiac diffusion tensor imaging in free-breathing conditions
Background The fiber structure of the human heart contributes significantly to efficient ventricular function in the presence of disease. DTI provides a non-invasive approach for the three-dimensional depiction of the myocardial fiber architecture. The biggest problem for in vivo cardiac DTI is the signal loss caused by motion. Recently, to cope with human physiological motion problem, a robust...
متن کاملEx vivo 3D diffusion tensor imaging and quantification of cardiac laminar structure.
A three-dimensional (3D) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) method for measuring cardiac fiber structure at high spatial resolution is presented. The method was applied to the ex vivo reconstruction of the fiber architecture of seven canine hearts. A novel hypothesis-testing method was developed and used to show that distinct populations of secondary and tertiary eigenvalues may be distinguished ...

متن کاملImproved navigator based diffusion tensor MRI of the human heart in vivo
Background In vivo Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging (cDTI) remains extremely challenging due to a mixture of cardiac and respiratory motion. In previous work a prospective navigator technique (NAV) has been implemented and compared to breath-hold (BH) acquisitions. Statistically significant differences were found between BH and NAV techniques for helix-angle (HA) values. Further interrogation o...
