Comparison of Single-Shot Fast Spin-Echo and Conventional Spin-Echo Sequences for MR Imaging of the Heart: Initial Experience¹

¹ From the Departments of Radiology (O.B.V., J.A., P.L.), Biostatistics (J.C.), and Cardiology (D.D.), Université René Descartes, Hôpital Cochin, 27 rue du Fg Saint Jacques, 75679 Paris Cedex 14, France; Service Hospitalier Frederic Joliot, Orsay, France (P.G.C.); and GE Medical Systems, Buc, France (C.A., P.L.R.).

A conventional T1-weighted spin-echo (SE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging sequence was compared with breath-hold and non–breath-hold half- Fourier single-shot fast SE MR sequences with black-blood preparation and high spatial resolution for imaging of various cardiac diseases. The optimized single-shot fast SE sequence provided better or equal image quality in less time. Breath-hold and non–breath-hold single-shot fast SE sequences may replace the conventional T1-weighted SE sequence for first-line cardiac MR imaging.
