Improved reproducibility of LV volumetry and infarct size measurement using a standardized evaluation protocol for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose LV volumetry and infarct size measurement using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the reference standard to non-invasively measure and to quantify cardiac volumes, function and infarct size. We have observed a high variability of cardiac MRI measurements, if inexperienced observers evaluated the MRI data. The purpose of the study was to analyze the reproducibility of cardiac MRI measurements of cardiac volumes, function, LV mass and infarct size before and after training including the use of a standardized evaluation protocol.

Evaluation of tissue doppler echocardiography and T2* magnetic resonance imaging in iron load of patients with thalassemia major
Background: Iron-mediated cardiomyopathy is the main complication of thalassemia major (TM) patients. Therefore, there is an important clinical need in the early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tissue doppler imaging (TDI) to study cardiac iron overload in patients with TM using T2* magnetic resonance (MR) as the gold-standard...

متن کاملEvaluation of a new semi-automatic strategy for quantitative measurement of infarct size in patients with acute and chronic myocardial infarction using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) with delayed gadolinium enhancement (DE) enables accurate infarct size measurement, however, the evaluation of infarct size using a threshold method is time consuming and relies on accurate placement of normal regions of interest and manual delineation of the infarct size. The purpose of the study was to analyze the accuracy and expenditure of...
