Comparison of scar signal quantification using phase corrected and conventional magnitude inversion recovery delayed enhancement imaging in patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy

چکیده
Background Myocardial scar volume quantification has been shown to predict response to medical, surgical, and device therapy. Phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR)-based Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) image reconstruction is clinically attractive for its reduced dependence on accurate prescription of the Time from Inversion (TI time), and is becoming a preferred approach for many centers. However, while an efficient approach for the visual interpretation of myocardial injury, the influence of this approach on signal-threshold based scar volume quantification has been poorly explored.

Influence of phase correction of late gadolinium enhancement images on scar signal quantification in patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND Myocardial fibrosis imaging using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been validated as a quantitative predictive marker for response to medical, surgical, and device therapy. To date, all such studies have examined conventional, non-phase corrected magnitude images. However, contemporary practice has rapdily adopted phase-corrected image reconstru...

Background In both ischemic (ICM) and non-ischemic (NICM) cardiomyopathy late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is an important cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) technique. LGE CMR, traditionally performed in 2D during multiple breath-holds (MB), is challenging for vulnerable patients and subject to slice misregistration. Therefore, LGE CMR during free-breathing (FB) is more robust and enables...

BACKGROUND Scar signal quantification using late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) identifies patients at higher risk of future events, both in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, the ability of scar signal burden to predict events in such patient groups at the time of referral for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator ...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Phase Sensitive Inversion Recovery (PSIR) Turbo FLASH for Evaluation of Left Ventricular Myocardial lesions in infiltrative and non-ischemic cardiac diseases
INTRODUCTION: Infiltrative myocardial disease (sarcoidosis, amyloid, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and non-ischemic inflammatory cardiomyopathy (myocarditis) demonstrate atypical patterns of enhancement on LGE-cMRI, in that they are typically not related to a coronary artery territory and often show a diffuse or patchy hyperenhanced pattern throughout the myocardium [1]. Such hyperenhanced lesio...

Background Breath-hold (BH) segmented TURBO FLASH (TFL) is currently used as the gold standard technique to evaluate delayed enhancement (DE) of the myocardium, typically with a phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) approach (1). However, many patients are unable to perform adequate breath-holding resulting in poor image quality and limited diagnostic yield. Free breathing (FB) single shot ...
