MR evaluation of ventricular function: true fast imaging with steady-state precession versus fast low-angle shot cine MR imaging: feasibility study

J Barkhausen et al. Radiology. 2001 Apr.

Abstract

Short- and long-axis cine magnetic resonance (MR) images were obtained with a standard fast low-angle shot, or FLASH, sequence and a first-generation true fast imaging with steady-state precession (FISP) sequence on a 1.5-T MR imager. Contrast-to-noise ratios and volumetric left ventricular measurements were compared for manual and automatic segmentation. True FISP images were associated with significantly (P<.01) higher contrast-to-noise ratios and allowed better detection of the endocardial border. True FISP images were provided with short acquisition times and excellent contrast between the myocardium and the ventricular lumen.
