Simultaneous 3D left and right coronary artery vessel wall imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Vessel wall imaging is commonly gated to alternate R-waves, in order to increase SNR and minimise artefacts due to RR-interval variation. In previous work with 2D carotid artery wall imaging, the resulting redundant RR-interval has been used to acquire additional parallel slices[1]. We postulate that the redundant RR-interval can be used to image an additional volume in 3D coronary artery wall imaging. In conjunction with highly efficient beat-to-beat respiratory motion correction (B2B-RMC)[2], this could allow high resolution 3D acquisitions of both the left and right coronary walls in ~10minutes.

Highly efficient nonrigid motion‐corrected 3D whole‐heart coronary vessel wall imaging
PURPOSE To develop a respiratory motion correction framework to accelerate free-breathing three-dimensional (3D) whole-heart coronary lumen and coronary vessel wall MRI. METHODS We developed a 3D flow-independent approach for vessel wall imaging based on the subtraction of data with and without T2-preparation prepulses acquired interleaved with image navigators. The proposed method corrects b...
متن کاملReproducibility of 3D free-breathing magnetic resonance coronary vessel wall imaging.
AIMS Although the coronary artery vessel wall can be imaged non-invasively using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the in vivo reproducibility of wall thickness measures has not been previously investigated. Using a refined magnetization preparation scheme, we sought to assess the reproducibility of three-dimensional (3D) free-breathing black-blood coronary MRI in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS MR...

Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
متن کاملHigh resolution 3D spiral coronary vessel wall imaging with >99% respiratory efficiency using beat to beat respiratory motion correction: quantitative comparison with navigator gated 2D spiral and turbo spin echo imaging
Introduction: Dark blood coronary artery wall imaging has demonstrated the ability to detect vessel wall thickening in subjects with non-significant coronary heart disease [1]. For high resolution imaging, studies are generally performed with diaphragmatic navigator gating which has an inherently low respiratory efficiency (RE) and is further compromised by respiratory drift through the long ac...
متن کاملThree-dimensional black-blood cardiac magnetic resonance coronary vessel wall imaging detects positive arterial remodeling in patients with nonsignificant coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Direct noninvasive visualization of the coronary vessel wall may enhance risk stratification by quantifying subclinical coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden. We sought to evaluate high-resolution black-blood 3D cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging for in vivo visualization of the proximal coronary artery vessel wall. METHODS AND RESULTS Twelve adult subjects, including...
