Inversion time prolongation at late enhancement cardiac MRI in a myeloma patient.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient undergoing chemotherapy for multiple myeloma had a sudden onset of heart failure. Cardiac magnetic resonance was performed after echocardiography to rule out myocardial late enhancement, which was not detected. In- terestingly, the inversion time of the T1-weighted inversion recovery late enhancement sequence needed to be significantly increased (from the usual 250-300 to 490 ms) to obtain diagnostic images. This report presents the clinical case of this patient, and discusses potential implications.

Improved inversion time (TI) scout sequence for late gadolinium enhancement MRI of patients with implantable cardiac devices
Background Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac MRI is the clinical gold standard for non-invasive characterization of myocardial scar [1]. The LGE technique is a contrast enhanced inversion recovery (IR) FLASH sequence, and requires a priori knowledge of the initial inversion time (TI) to produce optimal contrast between healthy myocardium and scar substrate. The TI is typically assessed ...
متن کاملFrequency and variability of late gadolinium "mid-wall" enhancement(MLE) depending on observer experience, image quality and underlying disease
Background Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in cardiac MRI (cMRI) has been described as a valid tool to discriminate between cardiac diseases. It has been postulated that MLE especially occurs in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and myocarditis with a prognostic impact in these patients. Nevertheless, it can be difficult to differentiate true MLE from common artifacts as motion blur,...
متن کامل[Evidence of gadolinium late-enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with peripartum cardiomyopathy].
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a form of heart failure that affects women late in pregnancy or early in peripartum. The present report describes a case of a patient with PPCM demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with late gadolinium enhancement of the left ventricle (LV). The late gadolinium enhancement of MRI improved associated with recovery of cardiac function. Endomyocardia...
متن کاملReal-time inversion recovery for infarct visualization during MR-guided interventions
Background Real-time MR imaging is appealing for dynamic procedural guidance. Some MRI-guided procedures, such as catheter ablation or myocardial biopsy, may require the interventionist to visualize infarcted tissue in real-time in order to navigate devices relative to the lesion. Methods to interleave late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images into a real-time imaging stream (1 in 5 frames) have...
متن کاملAssessment of myocardial infarction in mice by Late Gadolinium Enhancement MR imaging using an inversion recovery pulse sequence at 9.4T
PURPOSE To demonstrate the feasibility of using an inversion recovery pulse sequence and to define the optimal inversion time (TI) to assess myocardial infarction in mice by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI at 9.4T, and to obtain the maximal contrast between the infarcted and the viable myocardium. METHODS MRI was performed at 9.4T in mice, two days after induction of myocardial infarcti...
