Technical Developments

Cine MR Angiography of the Heart with Segmented True Fast Imaging with Steady-State Precession1

James C. Carr, MD, Orlando Simonetti, PhD, Jeff Bundy, PhD, Debiao Li, PhD, Scott Pereles, MD and J. Paul Finn, MD

1 From the Department of Radiology, Northwestern University Medical School, 448 E Ontario St, Suite 700, Chicago, IL 60611 (J.C.C., D.L., S.P., J.P.F.), and Siemens Medical Systems, Iselin, NJ (O.S., J.B.). From the 1999 RSNA scientific assembly. Received July 17, 2000; revision requested August 21; revision received November 7; accepted November 20. Address correspondence to J.C.C. (e-mail: jcarr@radiology.nwu.edu).

In five healthy subjects and 18 patients, cine magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the heart was performed with a true fast imaging with steady-state precession (FISP) sequence. Results were compared both quantitatively and qualitatively with those at cine fast low-angle shot (FLASH) MR imaging. The blood-myocardial contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) was 2.0 times higher and the normalized (for measurement time and pixel size) blood-myocardial CNR was 4.0 times higher for true FISP compared with FLASH MR imaging. Qualitative scores for image quality were significantly higher with true FISP MR imaging. Segmented cine true FISP MR imaging generated high-contrast MR images of the heart in healthy subjects and in patients with heart disease and produced image quality superior to that with cine FLASH MR imaging.

Index terms: Heart, MR, 51.121412 • Magnetic resonance (MR), cine study • Magnetic resonance (MR), image processing • Magnetic resonance (MR), technology, 51.121412
