A comparision of oedema detection with diffusion-weighted imaging and T2-STIR imaging in patients with acute myocardial infarction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is a well known technique in neuroradiology, due to its ability to detect ischemic regions in brain tissue. A recent, rapid development of the magnetic resonance technology and echo planar imaging enabled the application of diffusion imaging in cardiac examinations. The aim of this study was to compare the diffusion weighted imaging with widely used STIR sequences in the evaluation of edema in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Detection of myocardial oedema with the use of diffusion-weighted imaging in acute myocardial infarction
Methods In preliminary study myocardial oedema in 15 patients (13 male) with STEMI within 2-4 days were evaluated . The CMR examination was performed on a 1,5 T scanner (Magnetom Avanto; Siemens; Germany; Erlangen;) using a 8-channel phased-array coil. The parameters of the diffusion-weighted EPI sequence (DWI) were as follows: slice thickness 10mm, repetition time (depending on patient breath ...

Background Demonstration of myocardial oedema following MI allows differentiation of acute and chronic MI, and assessment of the area at risk of infarction. T2-weighted dark blood TSE imaging for oedema is technically demanding and prone to artefacts. Our protocol for patients with acute MI include standard oedema imaging sequences and more recently T2 prepared single shot SSFP sequences, follo...
متن کاملComparison of T1-mapping and T2-weighted imaging for diagnostic oedema assessment in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
Background Myocardial oedema (area-at-risk, AAR) is typically imaged using a pre-contrast T2-weighted short tau inversion recovery (T2w-STIR) sequence on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. However, this sequence is prone to motion and rhythm artefact, signal dropout, blood-pool artefact, surface coil signal inhomogeneity and potentially prohibitive long breath-hold duration. This ...
متن کاملThe evolution of myocardium at risk by T2-STIR MR imaging the first week after acute myocardial ischemia
Background Myocardial salvage is currently being used as endpoint in several clinical trials and is determined by relating final infarct size to myocardium at risk (MaR). T2-weighted imaging (T2-STIR) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has previously been shown to enable assessment of MaR up to one week after acute myocardial infarction. Recent experimental data indicate that the extent of MaR by...
