Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of cine magnetic resonance(MR) in determination of cardiac function by using four chamber/multiple slice multiple phase(4CH/MSMP) sequence.Methods In 18 healthy subjects, several indices of left ventricular function were measured by using cine MR 4CH/MSMP sequence, and the correlation of the results was compared with ultrasound cardiography by t test.Results In the measurement of left ventricular short diameter, left ventricular posterior wall thickness, internal ventricular septum thickness, left ventricular end diastolic and end systolic volume, the values of cine MR 4CH/MSMP sequence correlated well with those of echocardiography. The γ value was between 0.88 and 0.99.Conclusion The cine MR 4CH/MSMP sequence may be considered an important noninvasive modality for accurate assessment of cardiac function.
