Multi-contrast scar CINE: sparsely sampled real-time inversion-recovery bSSFP CINE combined with iterative reconstruction and motion propagation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background A new fast and robust technique combing CINE imaging with a retrospectively adjustable delayed-enhancement (DE) contrast in a short breath-hold of 4 seconds was recently introduced [1]. As a benefit of this technique, DE images can be reconstructed as a CINE series for any TI contrast, which in turn could be beneficial in the evaluation of CMR images and allow for improved diagnostic accuracy. In this work, we performed an initial clinical evaluation of the technique.

Initial experience with a cardiac multi-contrast real-time cine prototype integrating sparse sampling and iterative reconstruction
Methods All patients were submitted to a conventional cardiac magnetic resonance study (Magnetom Aera, Siemens AG Healthcare, Germany) that included shortand long-axis steady-state free-precession (SSFP) segmented cine measurements (spatial resol.: 1.5x1.5 mm; slice thickness: 7 mm; temporal resol.: 40 ms; 7 heart beats (HB)/slice), modified Look-Locker inversion recovery post-contrast T1 mappi...

Background Cardiac MR (CMR) has emerged as the gold standard in assessing biventricular size and systolic function with segmented balanced steady-state free-precession (bSSFP) cine acquisitions. The application of a novel prototype iterative reconstruction technique to sparsely undersampled segmented bSSFP cine acquisitions may enable higher acceleration factors while shortening image acquisiti...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the capabilities of balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging as a novel cine imaging approach for characterizing myocardial edema in animals and patients after reperfused myocardial infarction. BACKGROUND Current cardiac magnetic resonance methods require 2 separate scans for assessment of myocardial e...

Background Changes in myocardial strain have been shown to precede onset of systolic dysfunction in patients with cardiomyopathy. Traditionally performed with echocardiography, acoustic windows can limit strain evaluation. Preliminary work has shown good agreement between myocardial strain derived from deformation field analysis at balanced steady-state free-precession (bSSFP) cine MRI and spec...
متن کاملAccuracy and feasibility of a free-breathing cine technique sparsely sampled with iterative reconstruction for rapid evaluation of left ventricular function in adults and children
Background Despite being the gold standard for left ventricular function evaluation, traditional SSFP sequences still require multiple breath-holds and a relatively long scan time. This extends total duration of the exam, especially in children or adults with impaired cardiopulmonary capacity. We sought to compare a technique employing a prototype sparse sampling with iterative reconstruction (...
