Ungated cine first-pass CMR for concurrent imaging of myocardial perfusion defects and wall motion abnormalities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Combined assessment of wall motion from cine imaging and perfusion defects from first-pass perfusion (FPP) imaging has been shown to have a high diagnostic performance for detection of acute ischemia. In this setting, a single ungated CMR scan capable of simultaneously capturing perfusion deficits and wall motion abnormality can be useful for rapid diagnosis of ongoing acute ischemia. We propose an accelerated FPP technique with ungated continuous acquisition capable of generating cardiacphase resolved FPP images thereby enabling concurrent imaging of wall motion and perfusion deficits.

Real-time cine first-pass perfusion imaging enables rapid detection of functionally significant high-grade coronary stenosis
Background Among the spectrum of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), those suffering from high-grade stenosis are at a significantly elevated risk for adverse events [1]. Such high-grade disease may result in the so-called “coronary steal” phenomenon under vasodilator stress [2] thereby inducing wall-motion abnormalities (WMAs) in the affected territories, referred to as transient isch...
متن کاملPLR-TV: patch-based low rank with spatio-temporal total variation constraints for ungated myocardial perfusion CMR
Background Ungated myocardial perfusion is a promising alternative for simplifying CMR protocols [1]. Spatio-temporal total variation (TV) constrained reconstruction with radial undersampling was used in a pilot study [2]. And TV constraints combined with a low-rank constraint have shown improvement in some cases for gated perfusion imaging [3]. However, the temporal total-variation constraint ...

Background First-pass perfusion (FPP) cardiac MR (CMR) imaging has been shown to have a high performance for diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Reliability of FPP imaging, however, is hindered by dark-rim artifacts (DRAs) and the need for near-perfect ECG gating. The latter can be challenging in the presence of arrhythmias or heart-rate variations during stress. Moreover, endsystolic (...

tolic function will improve after coronary revascularization (viability testing) [3]. In general, stress CMR is frequently performed with one of two protocols. The more commonly used protocol is myocardial perfusion imaging, which involves intravenous administration of a vasodilator (i.e., adenosine). Stress perfusion CMR allows the evaluation of resting LV contraction as well as detection of m...

AIMS Myocardial perfusion imaging during hyperaemic stress is commonly used to detect coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS), strain rate (GLSR), myocardial early (E') and late diastolic velocities (A') with adenosine stress first-pass perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. ...
