Free-breathing 3D phase-sensitive inversion recovery late gadolinium enhancement at 3.0 Tesla: reliability and image quality in ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy in comparison with multiple breath-hold 3D imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background In both ischemic (ICM) and non-ischemic (NICM) cardiomyopathy late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is an important cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) technique. LGE CMR, traditionally performed in 2D during multiple breath-holds (MB), is challenging for vulnerable patients and subject to slice misregistration. Therefore, LGE CMR during free-breathing (FB) is more robust and enables to perform 3D acquisition, increase resolution and apply phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR). We developed and clinically tested a high spatial resolution PSIR LGE sequence using a respiratory navigator in both ICM and NICM patients. Reliability and image quality were compared to a multiple breath-hold 3D approach (MB-3D).

Background Clinical cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is routinely performed during multiple breathholds in predefined 2D image orientations. 3D CMR is desirable, since it allows post-acquisition reformatting in any desired imaging plane. However, 3D CMR is hampered by long breath-hold duration, introducing patient discomfort and technical limitations. These limitations can be ove...

Methods Patients with myocardial infarction (n = 45), myocarditis (n = 25) or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) (n = 15) were prospectively enrolled. After administration of gadolinium contrast agent, LGE images were acquired ECG-gated in short axis slices (slice thickness 7 mm, no gap) using 4 different LGE sequences: (1) conventional segmented 2D phase-sensitive inversion recovery in single-s...

Introduction Delayed myocardial enhancement (DE) imaging is a well-established method for detection of scar and fibrosis, e.g. in ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. Recent publications [1] have triggered a high interest in not only imaging the presence or absence of late enhancement but also to quantify the amount, shape and border zone of scar as potential prognostic parameters. As th...

BACKGROUND Segmented phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) sequences are reference standard for non-invasive evaluation of myocardial fibrosis using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Several multi-slice LGE sequences have been introduced for faster acquisition in patients with arrhythmia and insufficient breathhold capability. The aim of this study w...

Background Breath-hold (BH) segmented TURBO FLASH (TFL) is currently used as the gold standard technique to evaluate delayed enhancement (DE) of the myocardium, typically with a phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) approach (1). However, many patients are unable to perform adequate breath-holding resulting in poor image quality and limited diagnostic yield. Free breathing (FB) single shot ...
