Fast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging offers precise cardiovascular assessment. New techniques like velocity-encoded cine (VEC) MR imaging show promise for noninvasively detecting coronary artery disease by measuring blood flow.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Imaging
  • Medical Physics
  • Diagnostic Radiology

Background:

  • Accurate diagnosis of cardiovascular disease necessitates detailed assessment of cardiac morphology and function.
  • Fast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques enable comprehensive quantification of cardiovascular function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the capabilities of various fast MR imaging techniques in cardiovascular assessment.
  • To introduce velocity-encoded cine (VEC) MR imaging for blood flow quantification.
  • To explore the potential of VEC MR imaging for noninvasive coronary artery disease detection.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing conventional and breath-hold cine MR imaging for ventricular function assessment.
  • Employing velocity-encoded cine (VEC) MR imaging to measure blood flow in the heart and great vessels.

  • Applying contrast-prepared fast gradient-echo sequences for myocardial perfusion analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Cine MR imaging provides reproducible measurements of global and regional ventricular function.
    • VEC MR imaging enables quantification of blood flow.
    • Feasibility of breath-hold VEC MR imaging demonstrated for coronary artery and conduit flow velocity measurement.

    Conclusions:

    • Fast MR imaging techniques are crucial for precise cardiovascular diagnosis.
    • VEC MR imaging offers a promising noninvasive method for assessing coronary vasodilator reserve.
    • Breath-hold VEC MR imaging may become a key tool for detecting asymptomatic coronary artery disease.
