Fuzzy-logic, manual and semi-automated 2SD-based approaches for quantification of myocardial necrosis from late contrast enhancement magnetic resonance images: comparison with biochemical assessment of infarct size and left ventricular volumes and function early after myocardial infarction
نویسنده
چکیده
Purpose Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) provides reliable estimation of the extent of necrosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Nevertheless usual quantification methods are time consuming and subjective. We sought to assess necrosis extent with a new method (fuzzy c-means clustering), compared to usual methods, applied on Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) sequences. Results were compared to biochemical markers of necrosis and LV functional parameters.

متن کاملComparison of myocardial infarct size assessed with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and left ventricular function and volumes to predict mortality in patients with healed myocardial infarction.
Currently, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) and/or LV volumes are the established predictors of mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and severe LV dysfunction. With contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), precise delineation of infarct size is now possible. The relative merits of LVEF/LV volumes and infarct size to predict long-term outcome are unknow...
متن کاملCharacterization of microvascular dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction by cardiovascular magnetic resonance first-pass perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement imaging.
PURPOSE While both first-pass perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can assess coronary microvascular status in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), there are only limited data on their respective diagnostic utility. We aim to evaluate: the utility of first-pass perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement imaging in the detection and quantification of ...
