141 Volumetric cardiac quantification using three dimensional dual phase whole heart MRI

Abstract

In this abstract we propose a new acquisition that allows precise cardiac volume quantification. The technique acquires isotropic data sets of the whole heart during systole and diastole in a single free breathing scan using independent navigators for each cardiac phase. Quantification of LV and RV cardiac volumes is performed using a semi-automatic segmentation tool. A comparison between the standard Simpson approach and the proposed method shows a good agreement for all volunteers and patients.
