چکیده

Background The objective of this study was to assess the impact of right ventricular (RV) trabeculae and papillary muscles on measured volumes and function assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) using a novel semiautomatic segmentation algorithm in patients with right heart lesion of the congenital heart diseases. The new algorithm was based on the signal intensity distribution of MR images, and excludes trabeculae and papillary muscles from the blood pool, while the manual approach includes these objects in the blood pool.

Pressure overloaded right ventricles: importance of trabeculae in evaluation of RV function by CMR

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the preferred method to evaluate right ventricular (RV) volumes and ejection fraction. In CMR-volumetry, trabeculae and papillary muscles can be either inor excluded from the blood volume and both methods are used throughout literature. This study aimed to determine the impact of trabeculae and papillary muscles on right ventricular (RV) vo...

Impact of papillary muscles in ventricular volume and ejection fraction assessment by cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is an accurate tool for the determination of right and left ventricular volumes and ejection fractions. However, the current standard short-axis technique is time-consuming and thus, often not practicable for routine daily use, because papillary muscles and trabeculations have to be marked and their volumes subtracted from the total ventricular volume. To...

The Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...
