Validation of MRI quantification of biventricular cardiac function in term and preterm neonates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Accurate measurement of neonatal cardiac function remains a key goal to improve understanding of circulatory pathophysiology in prematurity. Cardiac MRI has been shown to be viable in this population, but robust validation is crucial. Our aim was to assess the accuracy of cardiac functional measures derived from MRI ventricular stack segmentation against phase contrast measures in term and preterm neonates.
