Fast quantitative measurement of T1 in cardiac delay enhanced studies
Introduction: Contrast delayed enhancement (DE) is a well established MRI technique for the evaluation of various cardiac diseases in magnetic resonance imaging. Healthy and injured myocardium show a different distribution of contrast agent (CA) 10-20 minutes after a bolus injection. This difference can be used in ischemic heart disease to detect like infarction and fibrosis, and in cardiomyopa...
متن کاملThe effect of inversion times on the minimum signal intensity of the contrast agent concentration using inversion recovery t1-weighted fast imaging sequence
Background :Inversion recovery (IR) pulse sequences can generate T1-weighted images with a different range of inversion time (TI) to suppress or null the signal intensity (SI) for a specified tissue. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of TI values on the concentration of the contrast agent, which leads to a minimum signal intensity, using an inversion recovery T1-weighted 3-dim...
متن کاملA segmented modified look-locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) sequence for high heart rate T1 mapping of mice
Background Quantitative T1 mapping provides myocardial tissue characterization for assessment of various cardiomyopathies. The Modified Look-locker (MOLLI) sequence is widely used for mapping the T1quantification, where multiple single-shot images are acquired along the T1 recovery curve after an inversion pulse. However, single-shot imaging becomes infeasible for mouse imaging at high heart ra...
متن کاملValvular Disease
Methods: Magnetic Resonance Imaging of cardiac valves requires state of the art equipement such as a 1.5 or 3 Tesla magnet and a surface coil. Three principal sequences are required [1]: 1) Black blood, 2) cine steady state free precession (CineSSFP), and 3) phase contrast velocity encoded cine (VENCine). Black blood images are obtained by preparation of a fast spin echo sequences with a nonsel...
متن کاملAssessment of cardiac function and myocardial morphology using small animal Look-Locker inversion recovery (SALLI) MRI in rats.
Small animal magnetic resonance imaging is an important tool to study cardiac function and changes in myocardial tissue. The high heart rates of small animals (200 to 600 beats/min) have previously limited the role of CMR imaging. Small animal Look-Locker inversion recovery (SALLI) is a T1 mapping sequence for small animals to overcome this problem. T1 maps provide quantitative information abou...
