Objective: This prospective study investigated the feasibility of an optimized cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examination protocol using the motion-corrected (MOCO), balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP), phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) sequence combined with a gadolinium contrast agent with a high relaxation rate in patients who cannot hold their breath.
Methods: Fifty-one patients with heart disease underwent CMR examinations twice and these were performed with different late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging sequences (fast low-angle shot [FLASH] sequence vs. MOCO sequence) and different gadolinium contrast agents (gadopentetate dimeglumine vs. gadobenate dimeglumine) with a 48-hour interval. LGE image quality, total time spent in the whole study, and time taken to perform LGE imaging were compared for the two CMR examinations.
Results: LGE images with the MOCO bSSFP PSIR sequence showed significantly higher image quality compared with those with the segmented FLASH PSIR sequence. There was a significant difference between the total scan time for the two examinations and different LGE sequences.
Conclusions: The MOCO bSSFP PSIR sequence effectively improves the quality of LGE images. Changing the CMR scanning protocol by combining the MOCO bSSFP PSIR sequence with a gadolinium contrast agent with a high relaxation rate effectively shortens the scan time. ChiCTR-ROC-17013978.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to introduce and evaluate a novel two-dimensional wideband black-blood (BB) LGE sequence, incorporating wideband inversion recovery, wideband T2 preparation, and non-rigid motion correction (MOCO) reconstruction, to improve myocardial scar detection and address artifacts associated with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).
Materials And Methods: The wideband MOCO free-breathing BB-LGE sequence was tested on a sheep with ischemic scar and in 22 patients with cardiac disease, including 15 with cardiac implants, at 1.5 T.

Purpose: Wideband phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) enables myocardial scar imaging in implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) patients, mitigating hyperintensity artifacts. To address subendocardial scar visibility challenges, a 2D breath-hold single-shot electrocardiography-triggered black-blood (BB) LGE sequence was integrated with wideband imaging, enhancing scar-blood contrast.
Methods: Wideband BB, with increased bandwidth in the inversion pulse (0.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess cardiac shear wave imaging implemented in a new MACH 30 ultrasound machine (SuperSonic Imaging, Aix-en-Provence, France) and interfaced with a linear probe and a phased array probe, in comparison with a previously validated Aixplorer system connected to a linear probe (SuperSonic Imaging) using Elasticity QA phantoms (Models 039 and 049, CIRS Inc., Norfolk, VA, USA).
Methods: Quantile-quantile plots were used for distribution agreement.

Dark-blood late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) has been shown to improve the visualization and quantification of areas of ischemic scar compared to standard bright-blood LGE. Recently, the performance of various semi-automated quantification methods has been evaluated for the assessment of infarct size using both dark-blood LGE and conventional bright-blood LGE with histopathology as a reference standard. However, the impact of this sequence on different quantification strategies in vivo remains uncertain.

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults. Spinal cord involvement is observed in 55-75% of patients with MS.
Aim: To identify the strengths and shortcomings of sagittal phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR), sagittal proton density/T2-weighted (PD/T2W), and axial turbo inversion recovery magnitude (TIRM) sequences in the detection of cervical MS plaques by comparing with routine sequences (axial and sagittal T2W, sagittal T1W, sagittal TIRM, fat-suppressed contrast T1W) and therefore determine their diagnostic contributions.
