Purpose: To assess the accuracy and reproducibility of 3D-cine k-adaptative-t-autocalibrating reconstruction for cartesian sampling (3D cine kat-ARC) for quantification of biventricular volumes, ejection fraction and LV mass in clinical practice.
Method: 74 patients underwent cardiac magnetic resonance for clinical indications. In the whole population 3D cine kat-ARC and 2D cine bSSFP images were acquired on short axis view. Subsequently, the population was divided in three subgroups (dilated, hypetrophic, other phenotypes). Two experienced observers performed analysis of volumes, biventricular function and left ventricular mass in the overall population and subgroups using an off-line workstation. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test, linear regression and Bland-Altman plot, correlation coefficient η2 and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). A cut-off value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Biventricular volumes, function and left ventricular mass evaluated with 3D cine kat-ARC sequences did not show any significant difference compared to 2D bSSFP sequences in the overall population (p > 0.05). Bland-Altman analysis showed limited bias and narrow limits of the agreement for all measurements in overall population. Subgroup analysis showed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.04) for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with a dilated phenotype; showing a minimum overestimation tendency for 3D cine kat ARC (2D cine bSSFP LVEF = 46.44 ± 15.83% vs 3D cine kat-ARC LVEF = 48.36 ± 16.50 %).
Conclusions: 3D cine kat-ARC 3D sequences allow an accurate evaluation of biventricular volumes and function in a single breath hold.

Objective: To compare left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) volume, function, and image quality of a respiratory-triggered two-dimensional (2D)-cine k-adaptive-t-autocalibrating reconstruction for Cartesian sampling (2D kat-ARC) with those of the standard reference, namely, breath-hold 2D balanced steady-state free precession (2D SSFP), in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).
Methods: 30 patients (14 males, mean age 32.2 ± 13.

The objective of our study was to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of right ventricular volumes and function measurements in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot using two k-adaptive-t autocalibrating reconstruction for cartesian sampling (kat-ARC) accelerated sequences: a morphologic 3D cine sequence and a functional free-breathing 4D flow sequence. Seventeen patients who underwent cardiac MRI with gadolinium injection as part of follow-up of repaired tetralogy of Fallot from March 2017 to July 2018 were prospectively included in the initial study population; the final study cohort was composed of 15 of the 17 patients. Ventricle volume measurements were performed on a 3D cine kat-ARC sequence, a 4D flow kat-ARC sequence, and a 2D cine balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) sequence.

Objective: Three-dimensional cardiac cine imaging has demonstrated promising clinical 1.5-Tesla results; however, its application to 3T scanners has been limited because of the higher sensitivity to off-resonance artifacts. The aim of this study was to apply 3D cardiac cine imaging during a single breath hold in clinical patients on a 3T scanner using the kat ARC (k- and adaptive-t auto-calibrating reconstruction for Cartesian sampling) technique and to evaluate the interchangeability between 2D and 3D cine imaging for cardiac functional analysis and detection of abnormalities in regional wall motion.
