Myocardial viability assessment by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
Recent progress in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease has intensified the need to differentiate viable from nonviable myocardium with accuracy and high spatial resolution. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had been investigated as a potential technique to assess myocardial viability for several years (1), before the development of gradient echo-imaging techn...
متن کاملAssessment of myocardial viability with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging: comparison with positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND Recent studies indicate that MRI, after administration of gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, can identify nonviable areas in dysfunctional myocardium. We compared MRI hyperenhancement with PET as a gold standard for detection and quantification of myocardial scar tissue. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-one patients with ischemic heart failure (ejection fraction, 28+/-9%) we...
متن کاملcontrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in sacroiliitis
conclusion fs t2 w and ce fs t1 w sequences of axial planes were the most useful sequences in determination of active sacroiliitis. therefore, in patients with renal failure or allergy to contrast media, fs t2 wi can be obtained to detect active sacroiliitis. objectives the aim of this retrospective study was to assess the value of different magnetic resonance imaging (mri) sequences in evaluat...
متن کاملImportance of perfusion in myocardial viability studies using delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
PURPOSE To investigate whether an extracellular gadolinium-(Gd)-based contrast agent (CA) enters nonperfused myocardium during acute coronary occlusion, and whether nonperfused myocardium presents as hyperintense in delayed contrast-enhanced (DE) MR images in the absence of CA in that region. MATERIALS AND METHODS The left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was occluded for 200 minutes...
متن کاملEarly assessment of myocardial salvage by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND Myocardial salvage after acute myocardial infarction is defined clinically by early restoration of flow and long-term improvement in contractile function. We hypothesized that contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), performed early after myocardial infarction, indexes myocardial salvage. We studied the relationship between the transmural extent of hyperenhancement by cont...
