Artifact reduction with a wideband late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI technique for patients with implanted cardiac devices: a two-center study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac MRI is the clinical gold standard for non-invasive characterization of myocardial scar [1]. However, up to 75% of patients who may benefit from LGE MRI have preexisting implanted cardiac devices such as implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and pacemakers (PM) [2]. The presence of an ICD produces hyper-intensity (HI) image artifacts in LGE (Figure 1) and can prevent assessment of myocardial scar. We recently proposed a wideband LGE MRI technique that removes these artifacts in ICD patients [3,4]. In this abstract, we present our two-center experience of using this wideband LGE sequence on a cohort of patients with ICDs who were referred to cardiac MRI.

Background Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac MRI is the clinical gold standard for non-invasive assessment of myocardial viability and plays an important role in guiding catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT). The majority of VT patients have implanted cardiac devices such as implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). The presence of ICDs gives rise to strong off-resonan...

BACKGROUND Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of ventricular scar has been shown to be accurate for detection and characterization of arrhythmia substrates. However, the majority of patients referred for ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation have an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), which obscures image integrity and the clinical utility of MRI.

Background Late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) MRI is the gold standard test for non-invasive detection of myocardial scar. Many VT ablation candidates who would derive benefit from LGE MRI do not undergo cardiac MRI largely due to image artifacts generated by cardiac devices. A recent study reported improved LGE MRI for patients with implantable cardiac devices using a custom-made wideband adiabati...
