Border sharpness of scar tissue after myocardial infarction as determined by self-navigated free-breathing isotropic 3D whole-heart inversion recovery magnetic resonance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The border zone of myocardial scar after myocardial infarction (MI) plays an important role for arrhythmia formation. For this reason, high-resolution 3D information of scar tissue for planning of electrophysiological interventions after MI is highly desirable. This study evaluates sharpness of the borders (SB) of scar after MI by a self-navigated isotropic 3D free-breathing wholeheart magnetic resonance with inversion recovery (3DSN-IR) in comparison to a standard 2D inversion recovery sequence.

Accuracy of self-navigated free-breathing isotropic 3D whole heart inversion recovery magnetic resonance for detection of myocardial infarction
Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) allows detection of myocardial scar after myocardial infarction. Usually 2D image planes in short-axis and three long axis orientations are obtained. However to plan in patients with scar e.g. complex electrophysiological intervention for reentry arrhythmias, high-resolution 3D information of the scar is highly desirable. This study therefore evaluate...

PURPOSE Whole-heart 3-dimensional (3D) late-gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (WH-LGE) uses respiratory gating combined with acquisition of 3D data for the entire heart in a single scan, which permits reconstruction of any plane with high resolution. We investigated the optimal scan parameters and compared WH-LGE with the conventional scanning method. MATERIALS AND METHODS W...

PURPOSE To develop a method for acquiring whole-heart 3D image-based navigators (iNAVs) with isotropic resolution for tracking and correction of localized motion in coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA). METHODS To monitor motion in all regions of the heart during a free-breathing scan, a variable-density cones trajectory was designed to collect a 3D iNAV every heartbeat in 176 ms wi...
