Feasibility study of a novel acquisition technique of cardiac cine magnetic resonance imaging in patients with atrial fibrillatio
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background For patients with arrhythmia, conventional segmented steady-state free precession sequence (CINE-SSFP) methods may result in poor image quality. Real-time cine could avoid those limitations, however poor spatial and temporal resolutions of conventional sequences have prevented its routine application. Recently a newly developed compressed sensing (CS) cine shows the ability to provide both spatial and temporal resolution in real time. The purpose of this study is to assess its performance in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Pulmonary vein imaging: comparison of 3D magnetic resonance angiography with 2D cine MRI for characterizing anatomy and size.
Pulmonary vein imaging is integral for planning atrial fibrillation ablation procedures. We tested the feasibility of quantifying pulmonary vein ostial diameter using two-dimensional cine cardiac magnetic resonance (2D cine CMR) and three-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography (3D MRA). Nine patients with a history of atrial fibrillation and 20 normal volunteers underwent 2D cine CMR and co...

The feasibility of electrocardiography (ECG)-synchronized respiration with an external cuirass-type respirator in cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was evaluated. Cardiac MR imaging was performed in 10 nonsedated healthy volunteers with an ECG-triggered external respirator that was modified for use in the MR environment. Coronary MR angiograms and multiphase gradient-echo cine images were...

Abstract Background Iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. Severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. Many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. Cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of Iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. Magne...

Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of our study was to evaluate patients with suspected anomalous pulmonary veins (APVs) and atrial septal defects (ASDs) using fast cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrafast three-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). BACKGROUND Precise anatomic definition of anomalous pulmonary and systemic veins, and the atrial septum are prerequisites for surgical...
