First-pass contrast-enhanced imaging versus equilibrium-phase T1 mapping for determining the distribution volume of gadolinium
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Late gadolinium enhancement can identify focal fibrosis, but cannot evaluate diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Multiple methods have been used to determine the partition coefficient (l) and volume of distribution (Vd) of gadolinium to quantify diffuse myocardial fibrosis, including first-pass and T1 mapping based techniques. These two techniques have not been directly compared in the same subjects.

Cardiac T1 mapping in congenital heart disease: bolus versus infusion protocol for measurement of myocardial extracellular volume
Background Measurement of myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) with T1 mapping cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) before and after the application of a gadolinium-based extracellular contrast agent enables the assessment of diffuse myocardial fibrosis. The equilibrium between blood and myocardium contrast concentration required for ECV measurements can be achieved with a primed contrast...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of the contrast "bolus only" T1 mapping cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) technique for measuring myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV). BACKGROUND Myocardial ECV can be measured with T1 mapping before and after contrast agent if the contrast agent distribution between blood/myocardium is at equilibrium. Equilibrium distri...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of T1 mapping at rest and during adenosine stress as a novel method for ischemia detection without the use of gadolinium contrast. BACKGROUND In chronic coronary artery disease (CAD), accurate detection of ischemia is important because targeted revascularization improves clinical outcomes. Myocardial blood volume (MBV) may be a mo...
