Preliminary application of in vivo cardiac diffusion weighted MRI in chronic myocardial infarction porcine model
Background Cardiac diffusion-weighted MRI is a non-contrast technique that has the potential to identify changes in tissue microstructure in acute myocardial infarction (MI) in humans and rats [1,2]. The trace apparent diffusion coefficient (trADC) was found to be significantly increased in the infarcted region relative to remote regions. The increased trADC is attributed to an increase in extr...
متن کاملIn vivo diffusion-weighted MRI detection of myocardial fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients
Background Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of in vivo diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) in detecting myocardial replacement fibrosis for chronic myocardial infarction [1-3]. Despite the potential of this contrastfree technique, detecting diffuse myocardial fibrosis with DWI has not been established. Current cardiac MRI (CMR) techniques to detect diffuse myocardial fibrosis include lat...
متن کاملIn vivo cardiac diffusion MRI: second order motion compensated diffusion-prepared balanced steady state free precession (SOMOCO Diff Prep bSSFP)
Background Cardiac diffusion MRI (CDMRI) has the potential to identify acute myocardial ischemia and assess the chronic change of myofiber orientation after a myocardial infarction [1,2]. Cardiac motion and SNR limitations have been the primary challenges for the application of the technique in vivo. A few previous in vivo studies have demonstrated the feasibility of CDMRI in humans using diffu...
متن کاملSubmillimeter diffusion tensor imaging and late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance of chronic myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND Knowledge of the three-dimensional (3D) infarct structure and fiber orientation remodeling is essential for complete understanding of infarct pathophysiology and post-infarction electromechanical functioning of the heart. Accurate imaging of infarct microstructure necessitates imaging techniques that produce high image spatial resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The aim ...
