Excerpt
This is a pilot study to evaluate the performance of whole-heart isotropic RT-3D cine SSFP sequence as an efficient single solution for assessment of morphology and function in CHD by comparing it to: 1. Short axis (SA) 2D cine SSFP for LV volumetry and function 2. Multiplanar 2D cine SSFP for intracardiac morphology 3. Cine 2D SSFP and gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced 3D MRA for aortic root size 4. Gd-3D MRA for vessel diameter (VD) 5. Gd-3D MRA, and cine 2D SSFP for morphology of extracardiac vasculature 6. Gd-3D MRA and multiplanar cine 2D SSFP for overall diagnosis. …
