Assessment of myocardial motion in children and young adults using High-temporal resolution MR tissue phase mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background MR Tissue phase mapping (TPM) is a non-invasive tool to detect regional and global myocardial wall motion. Evaluation of myocardial velocity in radial and longitudinal direction throughout the cardiac cycle may help us better understand myocardial mechanics. Our goal is to investigate regional and global left ventricular myocardial motion using respiratory-gated high temporal resolution TPM in children and young adults.

Detailed analysis of myocardial motion in volunteers and patients using high-temporal-resolution MR tissue phase mapping.
PURPOSE To detect and investigate details in left ventricular (LV) motion patterns with a temporal resolution comparable to that of echocardiography. MATERIAL AND METHODS To assess global and regional myocardial motion in high temporal detail, respiratory-gated MR phase-contrast measurements with three-directional velocity encoding (venc) were performed in 12 healthy volunteers and two patien...
متن کاملIs High Temporal Resolution Achievable for Paediatric Cardiac Acquisitions during Several Heart Beats? Illustration with Cardiac Phase Contrast Cine-MRI
BACKGROUND During paediatric cardiac Cine-MRI, data acquired during cycles of different lengths must be combined. Most of the time, Feinstein's model is used to project multiple cardiac cycles of variable lengths into a mean cycle. OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of Feinstein projection on temporal resolution of Cine-MRI. METHODS 1/The temporal errors during Feinstein's projection were compu...
متن کاملEffects of ageing on speed and temporal resolution of speech stimuli in older adults
Background: According to previous studies, most of the speech recognition disorders in older adults are the results of deficits in audibility and auditory temporal resolution. In this paper, the effect of ageing on timecompressed speech and auditory temporal resolution by word recognition in continuous and interrupted noise was studied. Methods: A time-compressed speech test (TCST) w...
متن کاملImproved method for quantification of regional cardiac function in mice using phase-contrast MRI
Phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging is a technique that allows for characterization of regional cardiac function and for measuring transmural myocardial velocities in human hearts with high temporal and spatial resolution. The application of this technique (also known as tissue phase mapping) to murine hearts has been very limited so far. The aim of our study was to implement and to optim...
متن کاملInvestigating myocardial motion by MRI using tissue phase mapping.
OBJECTIVE Velocity-encoded phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a tool to quantify regional myocardial wall motion of the entire heart. It allows the acquisition of three-directional velocity vector fields with high spatial resolution that reflect the temporal evolution of myocardial velocities over the cardiac cycle. In contrast to other imaging modalities such as echocardi...
