Myocardial T2 quantitation in patients with iron overload at 3 Tesla.
PURPOSE To investigate the feasibility of measuring myocardial T2 at 3 Tesla for assessment of tissue iron in thalassemia major and other iron overloaded patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A single-breathhold electrocardiogram-triggered black-blood multi-echo spin-echo (MESE) sequence with a turbo factor of 2 was implemented at 3 Tesla (T). Myocardial and liver T2 values were measured with three...
متن کاملT2 relaxation time mapping in phantom and in vivo myocardial studies to investigate optimal method of quantification
Reproducible and accurate T2 measurements are required for the characterization of myocardial tissue, e. g. to distinguish healthy, scar and edematous myocardium. It is the objective of this study to investigate the impact of the fitting algorithm applied for the T2 quantification from data derived from a single-breathhold T2-prepared steady-state free precession (T2p-SSFP) imaging technique.
متن کاملAge and sex corrected normal reference values of T1, T2 T2* and ECV in healthy subjects at 3T CMR
BACKGROUND Myocardial T1, T2 and T2* imaging techniques become increasingly used in clinical practice. While normal values for T1, T2 and T2* times are well established for 1.5 Tesla (T) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), data for 3T remain scarce. Therefore we sought to determine normal reference values relative to gender and age and day to day reproducibility for native T1, T2, T2* mapp...
متن کاملComparison of white blood and black blood T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance at 3 Tesla
Background T2* relaxometry offers a non-invasive method to accurately quantify myocardial iron levels, thus aiding the diagnosis and assessment of prognosis of patients. Two T2* sequences are used clinically: the single breathhold multi-echo gradient echo white blood (WB) and black blood (BB) techniques. At 1.5T, BB T2* has superior reproducibility and fewer artefacts than WB T2*. We compared B...
متن کاملT1 at 1.5T and 3T compared with conventional T2* at 1.5T for cardiac siderosis
BACKGROUND Myocardial black blood (BB) T2* relaxometry at 1.5T provides robust, reproducible and calibrated non-invasive assessment of cardiac iron burden. In vitro data has shown that like T2*, novel native Modified Look-Locker Inversion recovery (MOLLI) T1 shortens with increasing tissue iron. The relative merits of T1 and T2* are largely unexplored. We compared the established 1.5T BB T2* te...
