Inline myocardial t2* mapping with iterative robust fitting
Introduction Myocardial T2* measurement is a valuable tool for non-invasive assessment of iron overload, and is clinically employed for planning and monitoring ironchelating treatments for transfused thalassemia major patients [1]. Presently, for T2* assessment, dark-blood prepared gradient echo (GRE) images are acquired at multiple echo times (TEs). Thereafter, these images are analyzed within...
متن کاملRobust myocardial T2 and T2* mapping at 3T
PURPOSE Intramyocardial hemorrhage and area at risk are both prognostic markers in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Myocardial T2 and T2 * mapping have been used to detect such tissue changes at 1.5T but these techniques are challenging at 3.0T due to additional susceptibility variation. We studied T2 and T2 * myocardial mapping techniques at 3.0T on a system employing B1 shimming and compare...
متن کاملImproved quantitative myocardial T2 mapping: Impact of the fitting model.
PURPOSE To develop an improved T2 prepared (T2 prep) balanced steady-state free-precession (bSSFP) sequence and signal relaxation curve fitting method for myocardial T2 mapping. METHODS Myocardial T2 mapping is commonly performed by acquisition of multiple T2 prep bSSFP images and estimating the voxel-wise T2 values using a two-parameter fit for relaxation. However, a two-parameter fit model ...
متن کاملInline quantitative myocardial perfusion flow mapping
Background Quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) using first-pass perfusion MRI has potential to objectively evaluate ischemic heart disease. While considerable development and clinical research has been conducted during the past two decades on this topic, there lacks a perfusion flow mapping solution that runs on the MRI scanner and produces MBF maps immediately following the perfusion...
متن کاملThe Accuracy of Myocardial T2-Mapping Techniques
Objective: 1. To evaluate different pulse sequence options available for T2 Mapping of human myocardium vis-à-vis accuracy of T2 measurements in phantoms. 2. To propose a practical approach to T2 evaluation that can be used in clinical setting to distinguish tissues with T2 differences 3. To get a range of values for human myocardial T2 values using the most accurate and practical approach. 4. ...
