Improved detection of myocardial involvement in acute inflammatory cardiomyopathies using T2 mapping.
BACKGROUND T2-weighted cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is useful in diagnosing acute inflammatory myocardial diseases, such as myocarditis and tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTCM). We hypothesized that quantitative T2 mapping could better delineate myocardial involvement in these disorders versus T2-weighted imaging. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty patients with suspected myocarditis or TTCM, refer...
متن کاملNon-contrast T1-mapping detects acute myocardial edema with high diagnostic accuracy: a comparison to T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND T2w-CMR is used widely to assess myocardial edema. Quantitative T1-mapping is also sensitive to changes in free water content. We hypothesized that T1-mapping would have a higher diagnostic performance in detecting acute edema than dark-blood and bright-blood T2w-CMR. METHODS We investigated 21 controls (55 ± 13 years) and 21 patients (61 ± 10 years) with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy o...
متن کاملDose T2-weighted short TI inversion recovery images on cardiac magnetic resonance reflect disease activity in cardiac involvement of sarcoidosis patients?
Background Cardiac involvement of sarcoidosis (CIS) in progressed and advanced stage increases cardiac events and mortality of systemic sarcoidosis, so early diagnosis and determination of disease activity are needed for treating in CIS. However, evaluating disease activity of CIS remains a major challenge because no single diagnostic test has yet been established with a high accuracy. High sig...
متن کاملQuantification of acute myocardial injury by ShMOLLI T1-Mapping, T2-weighted and late gadolinium imaging in patients presenting with chest pain, positive troponins and non-obstructive coronary arteries
Methods 16 patients (8 men, mean age 51±16 years) with acute chest pain, Troponin I >1.0 ug/L and non-obstructive coronary arteries underwent 1.5T CMR imaging within 7 days of presentation (median 3 days). CMR protocol included Shortened Modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (ShMOLLI) for T1-mapping, T2-STIR and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. Regional wall motion was assessed with...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Morphology of Lumbar Disc Herniation and MRI Changes in Adjacent Vertebral Bodies
Background: Intervertebral disc herniation has two common types, extrusion and protrusion, which may affect the adjacent vertebrae.In addition, it is associated with significant signal changes in T1 MRI (short TR/TE) and T2 MRI (long TR/TE). Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional analytic one, in which sampling was performed retrospectively. Cases were randomly selected from the pa...
