Radiomics-based detection of acute myocardial infarction on noncontrast enhanced midventricular short-axis cine CMR images.

Cardiac magnetic resonance cine images are primarily used to evaluate functional consequences, whereas limited information is extracted from the noncontrast pixel-wise myocardial signal intensity pattern. In this study we want to assess whether characterizing this inherent contrast pattern of noncontrast-enhanced short axis (SAX) cine images via radiomics is sufficient to distinguish subjects with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) from controls. Cine balanced steady-state free-precession images acquired at 1.

Exercise-induced myocardial T1 increase and right ventricular dysfunction in recreational cyclists: a CMR study.

Purpose: Although cardiac troponin I (cTnI) increase following strenuous exercise has been observed, the development of exercise-induced myocardial edema remains unclear. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) native T1/T2 mapping is sensitive to the pathological increase of myocardial water content. Therefore, we evaluated exercise-induced acute myocardial changes in recreational cyclists by incorporating biomarkers, echocardiography and CMR.

Pedunculated Epipericardial Fat Torsion: A Subtle Clinical and Radiological Mimicker.

Epipericardial fat torsion is a little-known and uncommon condition with sometimes subtle findings making general awareness essential for detection and for confident diagnosis.
