Adenosine stress CMR with variable density spiral pulse sequences accurately detects CAD with minimal dark-rim artifacts

چکیده
Background Adenosine stress CMR perfusion imaging has numerous advantages over competing modalities for assessing CAD demonstrating high diagnostic and prognostic utility. However, adenosine stress CMR perfusion imaging is limited by motion-induced dark-rim artifacts (DRA) which may be mistaken for true perfusion abnormalities. We have previously demonstrated that a high-resolution variable-density spiral pulse sequence with a novel density compensation strategy reduces ringing artifacts in firstpass perfusion imaging. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical performance of this new technique to detect obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).

Adenosine stress CMR with spiral pulse sequences accurately detect CAD
Background Adenosine stress perfusion imaging with CMR has been limited by motion-induced dark-rim artifacts, which may be mistaken for true perfusion abnormalities. We have previously demonstrated that spiral pulse sequences can produce high quality first-pass perfusion images.[1] We have further improved this spiral technique using high-resolution variable density spiral trajectories and a no...

متن کاملFully quantitative pixel-wise analysis of cardiovascular magnetic resonance perfusion improves discrimination of dark rim artifact from perfusion defects associated with epicardial coronary stenosis
BACKGROUND Dark rim artifacts in first-pass cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) perfusion images can mimic perfusion defects and affect diagnostic accuracy for coronary artery disease (CAD). We evaluated whether quantitative myocardial blood flow (MBF) can differentiate dark rim artifacts from true perfusion defects in CMR perfusion. METHODS Regadenoson perfusion CMR was performed at 1.5 ...

Introduction: First-pass MR perfusion images may be corrupted by dark-rim artifacts, which are at least in part a consequence of myocardial motion during data acquisition [1]. We have previously shown that the non-linear time-varying displacements of the myocardium resulting from cardiac contraction result in dark-rim artifacts that have a different appearance in images obtained at different ph...
متن کاملDark-rim-free ungated first-pass perfusion CMR with 3-Slice end-systolic imaging: initial experience
Background First-pass perfusion (FPP) cardiac MR (CMR) imaging has been shown to have a high performance for diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Reliability of FPP imaging, however, is hindered by dark-rim artifacts (DRAs) and the need for near-perfect ECG gating. The latter can be challenging in the presence of arrhythmias or heart-rate variations during stress. Moreover, endsystolic (...
