ShMOLLI and 5(4R) 3 MOLLI T1 mapping in HCM detect similar ECV despite a difference in absolute T1 measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background T1 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) measurements enable assessment of diffuse fibrosis in HCM and have been validated against histology. There still remains wide variation in pulse sequences used to measure T1 each with their associated limitations and biases in T1 determination. We sought to compare T1 values and ECV measurements between a 5(4R)3 variant of MOLLI and ShMOLLI in patients undergoing CMR for evaluation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Accuracy and reproducibility of four T1 mapping sequences: a head-to-head comparison of MOLLI, ShMOLLI, SASHA, and SAPPHIRE
Background Quantitative myocardial T1 mapping provides in-vivo tissue characterization for assessment of cardiomyopathies. Pre and post-contrast T1 maps can be used to calculate the extracellular volume fraction (ECV) to detect diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Several imaging approaches have recently been proposed for measuring T1 values [1-4], but no head-to-head comparison has been reported to cr...
متن کاملIn-vivo T1 cardiovascular magnetic resonance study of diffuse myocardial fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), autopsy studies revealed both increased focal and diffuse deposition of collagen fibers. Late gadolinium enhancement imaging (LGE) detects focal fibrosis, but is unable to depict interstitial fibrosis. We hypothesized that with T1 mapping, which is employed to determine the myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV), can detect diffuse inters...
متن کاملShortened Modified Look-Locker Inversion recovery (ShMOLLI) for clinical myocardial T1-mapping at 1.5 and 3 T within a 9 heartbeat breathhold
BACKGROUND T1 mapping allows direct in-vivo quantitation of microscopic changes in the myocardium, providing new diagnostic insights into cardiac disease. Existing methods require long breath holds that are demanding for many cardiac patients. In this work we propose and validate a novel, clinically applicable, pulse sequence for myocardial T1-mapping that is compatible with typical limits for ...
متن کاملShMOLLI: Shortened Modified Look Locker Inversion recovery for cardiac T1 mapping – From theory to normal human myocardium
INTRODUCTION: T1-mapping of the myocardium can provide quantitative assessment of changes in the myocardium, with potential to detect, quantify and monitor subtle diffuse pathology without the use of contrast agents. Cardiac T1-mapping is complicated by movement, which limits the resolution of inversion time (TI) sampling to a heartbeat interval. One method is the MOLLI technique (Modified Look...
متن کاملComparison of T1 mapping techniques for ECV quantification. Histological validation and reproducibility of ShMOLLI versus multibreath-hold T1 quantification equilibrium contrast CMR
BACKGROUND Myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) is elevated in fibrosis or infiltration and can be quantified by measuring the haematocrit with pre and post contrast T1 at sufficient contrast equilibrium. Equilibrium CMR (EQ-CMR), using a bolus-infusion protocol, has been shown to provide robust measurements of ECV using a multibreath-hold T1 pulse sequence. Newer, faster sequences for T1 mapp...
