Summary
This study explores cardiac CT for measuring myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV), a key heart disease biomarker. Results show a correlation between CT-derived and MRI-derived ECV, suggesting CT
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Imaging
- Radiology
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) is a vital imaging biomarker for detecting various heart diseases.
- Accurate ECV measurement is crucial for early diagnosis and management of cardiac conditions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the feasibility of estimating myocardial ECV using cardiac computed tomography (CT).
- To evaluate the correlation between CT-derived ECV and the established MRI-derived ECV.
Main Methods:
- Dual-source CT system was used to acquire pre-contrast and delayed-phase images for ECV calculation.
- Cardiac MRI with a modified Look-Locker inversion recovery sequence on a 3T system was used for reference ECV.
- ECV was analyzed across 24 myocardial segments in 8 patients without clinical coronary artery disease.
Main Results:
- A correlation was observed between CT-derived and MRI-derived ECV measurements.
- This indicates the potential of cardiac CT for quantifying myocardial ECV.
Conclusions:
- Cardiac CT demonstrates feasibility for estimating myocardial ECV.
- CT-derived ECV shows a correlation with MRI-derived ECV, supporting its use as a potential imaging biomarker.

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, or CMRI, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that employs a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to create precise images of the heart and arteries. It provides comprehensive information about cardiac anatomy, function, perfusion, and tissue characterization without ionizing radiation.IndicationsCMRI diagnoses various heart conditions, including tissue damage from heart attacks, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, aortic issues (tears, aneurysms,...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

14.1K
The electrical signals recorded on an electrocardiogram (ECG) occur before the mechanical processes of contraction and relaxation during the cardiac cycle.
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
