Segmented CMR acquisition with iterative SENSE reconstruction using L1-regularization in the evaluation of right ventricular systolic function
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Cardiac MR (CMR) has emerged as the gold standard in assessing biventricular size and systolic function with segmented balanced steady-state free-precession (bSSFP) cine acquisitions. The application of a novel prototype iterative reconstruction technique to sparsely undersampled segmented bSSFP cine acquisitions may enable higher acceleration factors while shortening image acquisitions, thus maintaining adequate image quality for quantitative analysis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical utility of a segmented sparsely sampled 2D CINE imaging technique, with a prototype iterative SENSE reconstruction using L1-regularization, in the quantitative assessment of right ventricular (RV) systolic function.

Right-ventricular assessment using a segmented cine acquisition employing iterative SENSE reconstruction with spatio-temporal L1 regularization: Initial clinical experience
Background Cardiac MR (CMR) has emerged as the gold standard for assessing right-ventricular (RV) size and function with cine acquisitions. However, dyspnea often accompanies RV dysfunction, limiting patient ability to breathhold and consequently image quality at CMR. The application of a novel iterative reconstruction technique to segmented CMR cine acquisitions may enable higher acceleration ...
متن کاملBiventricular strain analysis at 1.5T cardiac MR imaging: preliminary results in volunteers using an iterative SENSE reconstruction with L1 regularization
Background Changes in myocardial strain have been shown to precede onset of systolic dysfunction in patients with cardiomyopathy. Traditionally performed with echocardiography, acoustic windows can limit strain evaluation. Preliminary work has shown good agreement between myocardial strain derived from deformation field analysis at balanced steady-state free-precession (bSSFP) cine MRI and spec...

Methods IRB approval was obtained. Twenty patients (age: 54.8 ± 14 years, M:F = 15:5) undergoing non-emergent CMR assessment for myocardial pathology were consecutively recruited. Nine healthy volunteers (age: 44.3 ± 14 years, M:F = 6:3) were also imaged. CMR was performed at 1.5T (MAGNETOM Aera, Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). The examination included acquisition of standard segmented ...
متن کاملThe Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...
متن کاملEvaluation of accelerated real-time CMR using sparse sampling with iterative SENSE reconstruction in patients and volunteers
Background The use of gated CMR can be limited by motion artifacts secondary to cardiac and respiratory motion. Imaging is especially challenging in patients with arrhythmias or those who cannot perform adequate breath-holds. Realtime CMR is a non-gated technique that has been successfully applied in scenarios where standard segmented acquisitions break down. In this study, we sought to acceler...
