Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of 7 T cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to quantitatively assess left ventricular volumes, mass, and function from cine short-axis series and left ventricular diastolic filling from velocity-encoded MRI in 10 healthy volunteers. As comparative "gold standard," the corresponding measures obtained at 1.5 T were taken. Left ventricular volumes, function, and mass were obtained by manual image segmentation. Trans-mitral flow graphs were obtained from 2D one-directional through-plane velocity-encoded MRI planned at the mitral valve in end-systole. Imaging at 7 T MRI was successful in 80% of the examinations. Assessment of left ventricular volumes, function, and mass at 7 T showed good agreement with 1.5 T (no significant differences between variables describing volumes, function, and mass with intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from 0.77 to 0.96). Trans-mitral stroke volume and the ratio between early and atrial peak filling rate showed strong agreement at both field strengths (no significant differences between stroke volumes and filling ratios with intraclass correlation coefficients 0.92 for stroke volumes and 0.77 for peak filling ratios). In conclusion, this study shows that assessing left ventricular volumes, function, and flow is feasible at 7 T MRI and that standardized MRI protocols provide similar quantitative results when compared with 1.5 T MRI.
