Left ventricular ejection fraction was measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and compared with standard monoplane left ventriculography in 46 patients with various cardiac diseases. Two different MRI strategies were used. In 28 patients (group 1), ejection fraction was determined using a single slice comparable with the right anterior oblique projection of the ventriculogram. Comparison of left ventricular ejection fraction yielded a poor correlation between single slice MRI (y) and ventriculography (x) (y = 28.7 + 0.47 x, r = 0.65). In 18 patients (group 2), a multiple contiguous slice MRI technique was used to allow ejection fraction and stroke volume determination by summing up the volumes of ventricular cavity intersections. Regression analysis showed a high correlation between multiple slice MRI (y) and ventriculography (x) (y = 7.2 + 0.88 x, r = 0.98). Also, correlation between MRI right (y) and left (x) ventricular stroke volumes was satisfactory, (y = -12.8 + 1.09 x, r = 0.83). It is concluded that the multiple slice imaging technique in MRI provides an accurate noninvasive means for quantification of left ventricular ejection fraction that can be extended to the determination of left ventricular volume. |
