Background: Hepatic alterations are common aftereffects of heart failure (HF) and ventricular dysfunction. The prognostic value of liver injury markers derived from cardiac MRI studies in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients is unclear.

Purpose: Evaluate the prognostic performance of liver injury markers derived from cardiac MRI studies in DCM patients.

Objectives: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients are closely related to LA functional impairment. Left atrial (LA) strain provides more insight into LA function. The study aimed to investigate the left atrial dysfunction of HCM patients by rapid semi-automatic method and determine the predictive value of left atrial long-axis strain (LAS) for atrial fibrillation (AF).

Objective: To explore the feasibility of single-breath-hold compressed sensing real-time cine imaging (CS-cine) in the assessment of ventricular function and left ventricular (LV) strain.

Methods: A total of 70 subjects were enrolled prospectively, and all subjects underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) using both the standard steady-state free procession cine (sta-cine) acquisition and a prototype CS-cine sequence. For both CS-cine and sta-cine imaging, continuous short-axis cine images were acquired from the base to the apex to cover the entire left ventricle, and long-axis cine images including two-, three-, and four-chamber views were also acquired.

Objective: To qualitatively and quantitatively compare the contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in one-stop shop of abdominal imaging with Gadobutrol and Gd-DTPA at equimolar doses of gadolinium.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective designed, multiple center, intraindividual comparison study. All volunteers underwent Gadobutrol- and Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRA and MRI in one-stop shop.

Background Acute aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening medical emergency. It has been debated whether the multiphase dynamic computed tomography angiography (CTA) protocol is superior to the standard triphasic protocol for revealing the characteristics of AD. Purpose To examine two multiphase dynamic protocols, Dynamic four-dimensional (4D) CTA using the shuttle mode and Flash 4D CTA using the high-pitch mode for the assessment of AD and to compare them with the standard triphasic protocol.
