Rapid ventricular assessment using real-time interactive multislice MRI MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN MEDICINE Nayak, K. S., Pauly, J. M., Nishimura, D. G., Hu, B. S. 2001; 45 (3): 371-375

Abstract

A multislice real-time imaging technique is described which can provide continuous visualization of the entire left ventricle under resting and stress conditions. Three dynamically adjustable slices containing apical, mid, and base short axis views are imaged 16 times/sec (48 images/sec), with each image providing 3.12 mm resolution over a 20 cm field of view. Initial studies indicate that this technique is useful for the assessment of LV function by providing simultaneous real-time visualization of all 16 wall segments. This technique may also be used for stress LV function and, when used in conjunction with contrast agents, myocardial perfusion imaging. Magn Reson Med 45:371-375, 2001.
