چکیده

Background Contrast enhanced SSFP (CE-SSFP) and T2-weighted triple inversion recovery imaging (T2w) have both been clinically validated for determining myocardium at risk (MaR) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), using myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) as reference standard. Previously, MPS has been used to describe the coronary perfusion territories during myocardial ischemia. Compared to MPS, CMR offers superior image quality and logistical advantages. The aim of this study was to describe the coronary perfusion territories of LAD, RCA and LCx based on CMR data using CE-SSFP and T2w in patients after ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Performance of contrast enhanced SSFP and T2-weighted imaging for determining myocardium at risk in a multi-vendor, multi-center setting- data from the MITOCARE and CHILL-MI trials

Background Myocardial salvage, as determined by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), is increasingly used as an endpoint in clinical trials. In order to calculate myocardial salvage, the infarct size needs to be related to myocardium at risk (MaR). MaR has previously been assessed by both T2-weighted imaging and contrast enhanced SSFP (CESSFP). The aim of this study was to determine how T2...

Myocardium at risk by magnetic resonance imaging: head-to-head comparison of T2-weighted imaging and contrast-enhanced steady-state free precession

AIMS To determine the myocardial salvage index, the extent of infarction needs to be related to the myocardium at risk (MaR). Thus, the ability to assess both infarct size and MaR is of central clinical and scientific importance. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between T2-weighted cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and contrast-enhanced steady-state free precession (C...

Semi-automatic segmentation of myocardium at risk from contrast enhanced SSFP images - validation against manual delineation and SPECT

Background The development of treatments to limit myocardial injury in patients with acute STEMI is dependent on methods that accurately determine the amount of mycoardium at risk (MaR). Both T2-weighted imaging and contrast enhanced SSFP (CE-SSFP) have been validated against SPECT and can determine the MaR by CMR one week after an infarct. CE-SSFP has recently been used in two multi-center stu...

BACKGROUND Contrast-enhanced steady state free precession (CE-SSFP) and T2-weighted short tau inversion recovery (T2-STIR) have been clinically validated to estimate myocardium at risk (MaR) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance while using myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography as reference standard. Myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography has be...
