MR Evaluation of Ventricular Function: True Fast Imaging with Steady-State Precession versus Fast Low-Angle Shot Cine MR Imaging: Feasibility Study¹

¹ From the Departments of Diagnostic Radiology (J.B., S.G.R., M.G., J.F.D.) and Cardiology (T.B.), University Hospital Essen, Hufelandstrasse 55, D-45122 Essen, Germany, and Siemens Medical Systems, Erlangen, Germany (G.L.). Received May 2, 2000; revision requested June 29; revision received August 7; accepted September 12. Address correspondence to J.B. (e-mail: joerg.barkhausen@uni-essen.de).

Short- and long-axis cine magnetic resonance (MR) images were obtained with a standard fast low-angle shot, or FLASH, sequence and a first-generation true fast imaging with steady-state precession (FISP) sequence on a 1.5-T MR imager. Contrast-to-noise ratios and volumetric left ventricular measurements were compared for manual and automatic segmentation. True FISP images were associated with significantly (P < .01) higher contrast-to-noise ratios and allowed better detection of the endocardial border. True FISP images were provided with short acquisition times and excellent contrast between the myocardium and the ventricular lumen.
