Myocardial late gadolinium enhancement: A head-to-head comparison of motion-corrected balanced steady-state free precession with segmented turbo fast low angle shot
Clinical Radiology Mar 19, 2018
Fan H, et al. - An investigation was conducted by the experts of the image quality and diagnostic agreement with a head-to-head comparison of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images acquired by the motion-corrected (MOCO) balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) phase sensitivity inversion recovery (PSIR) and conventional segmented fast low angle shot (FLASH) PSIR methods in patients with a wide spectrum of cardiovascular disease. It was determined that the overall image quality (OIQ) of MOCO bSSFP was higher than that of segmented FLASH. The inference drawn was that MOCO bSSFP was a feasible, robust sequence for LGE imaging, particularly for patients with arrhythmia and those incapable of breath-holding because of severe heart failure.
