Three-directional myocardial motion assessed using 3D phase contrast MRI.
Regional myocardial function is a complex entity consisting of motion in three dimensions (3D). Besides magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), no other noninvasive technique can give a true 3D description of cardiac motion. Using a time-resolved 3D phase contrast technique, three-dimensional image volumes containing myocardial velocity data in six normal volunteers were acquired. Coordinates and vel...
متن کاملRetrogated spiral 3-directional myocardial phase velocity mapping in a single breath-hold
Background Myocardial phase velocity mapping studies have generally been acquired using Cartesian k-space coverage and respiratory gating [1,2]. Acquisition durations for high temporal resolution studies are therefore long and unpredictable and the use of navigators and prospective cardiac gating results in ‘dead-times’ in the cardiac cycle where imaging cannot be performed. We have developed a...
متن کاملAcceleration of tissue phase mapping with sensitivity encoding at 3T
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of sensitivity encoding on the quantitative assessment of cardiac motion in black blood cine tissue phase mapping (TPM) sequences. Up to now whole volume coverage of the heart is still limited by the long acquisition times. Therefore, a significant increase in imaging speed without deterioration of quantitative motion informat...
متن کامل3-Directional Fast Acceleration Encoding
Introduction: For the assessment of myocardial motion or blood flow, direct measurements of regional acceleration might provide valuable information regarding flow changes or tissue function and structure. However, there is only one report of the implementation of a direct acceleration encoding phase contrast (PC) technique based on an acceleration encoded scan and an acceleration compensated s...
متن کاملFourFlow - open source code software for quantification and visualization of time-resolved three-directional phase contrast magnetic resonance velocity mapping
Background Time-resolved three-directional phase contrast magnetic resonance velocity mapping (4D PC-MR) has the potential to be a powerful modality for studying normal physiology and pathophysiology. However, a wider application of 4D PC-MR is hampered by a lack of methods for quantitative analysis. Currently available software packages for visualization of 4D PC-MR do not allow for modificati...
