High-resolution quantitative 3D T2 mapping allows quantification of changes in edema after myocardial infarction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background T2 values are related to the tissue water content, providing useful diagnostic information in cardiac diseases, especially in acute states such as myocardial infarction (MI). Visualization of edema, its regional distribution, and extent in acute and chronic heart disease may be useful as a diagnostic tool and help in guiding treatment in the patients with heart disease. Recently, edema detection (T2 elevation) using quantitative T2 maps has been shown more robust than qualitative clinical T2W imaging.

Characterizing myocardial edema and hemorrhage using quantitative T2 and T2* mapping at multiple time intervals post ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Accurate characterization of the longitudinal trends of myocardial edema and hemorrhage has been previously limited by subjective qualitative methods. We aimed to prospectively characterize the evolution of myocardial edema and hemorrhage post acute myocardial infarction using quantitative measures. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-two patients were enrolled post primary percutaneous coro...
متن کاملT2 quantification for improved detection of myocardial edema
BACKGROUND T2-Weighted (T2W) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pulse sequences have been used to detect edema in patients with acute myocardial infarction and differentiate acute from chronic infarction. T2W sequences have suffered from several problems including (i) signal intensity variability caused by phased array coils, (ii) high signal from slow moving ventricular chamber blood that can mi...

BACKGROUND Quantitative Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) techniques have gained high interest in CMR research. Myocardial T2 mapping is thought to be helpful in diagnosis of acute myocardial conditions associated with myocardial edema. In this study we aimed to establish a technique for myocardial T2 mapping based on gradient-spin-echo (GraSE) imaging. METHODS The local ethics committe...
متن کاملT1-mapping accurately detects acute myocardial edema: a comparison to T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
Background T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is commonly used to detect myocardial edema. T1-mapping is also sensitive to changes in free water content and is quantitative, obviating the need for a presumed normal reference region to detect changes within affected myocardium. We hypothesized that T1-mapping using the novel sequence Shortened Modified Look-Locker Inversion Reco...
متن کاملQuantitative free-breathing 3T T2-mapping of the heart designed for longitudinal studies
Background Recently, T2-weighted MRI for the characterization of edema after myocardial infarction has attracted considerable attention (Friedrich, NatRevCardiol2010). Furthermore, the recently proposed combination of bSSFP imaging and T2Prep for T2-mapping at 1.5T has enabled a rapid quantitative cardiac T2 estimation (Huang et al., MRM2007). However, the accuracy of this method may still be l...
