Assessment of the myocardial area at risk: Comparing T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging with contrast-enhanced cine (CE-SSFP) imaging—a DANAMI3 substudy
European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging Aug 06, 2018
Goransson C, et al. - Researchers sought to determine whether contrast-enhanced (CE) cine imaging can replace T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to provide a valid assessment of the myocardial area at risk (AAR). Good internal consistency was shown by CE-cine imaging in the assessment of AAR. As per visual inspection, AAR may be overestimated with T2-weighted short tau inversion recovery (T2-STIR) images. In the analysis of CE-cine imaging, good interobserver agreement was seen. Overall, they concluded that CE-cine can replace T2-STIR imaging, resulting in a more valid assessment of the myocardial AAR.
