Abstract:
Objective To perform cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examination with 2-shot compressed sensing (CS) cardiac cine imaging (cine) technique, so as to obtain high-quality images that can quickly and accurately assess cardiac function and are closer to the standard cine sequence. Methods The patients, who underwent CMR examination in Department of Radiology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College from Jul. to Sep. 2018, were continuously enrolled. All enrolled patients received the standard cine sequence, single-shot (ss) CS cine sequence and 2-shot CS cine sequence image acquisition. Quantitative analyses of image quality and cardiac function were performed on each cine image acquired from different sequences. Results Twenty-two patients completed the three types of cine sequences. The average acquisition time of standard cine sequence, ss CS cine sequence and 2-shot CS cine sequence was (102.50±18.55), (20.50±3.71) and (30.75±5.57) s, respectively. The median total image quality scores of the standard, ss CS and 2-shot CS cine sequences were 4, 3 and 4, respectively. There was significant difference in the total quality scores between the standard cine sequence and the ss CS cine sequence (Z=-2.828, P=0.005), while there was no significant difference between the standard cine sequence and the 2-shot CS cine sequence (Z=-1.000, P=0.317). In the quantitative study of cardiac function parameters, left ventricular myocardial mass was significantly different between the standard cine sequence and the ss CS cine sequence (100.25 [47.30-136.02] g vs 101.25 [48.30-135.30] g, Z=-2.484, P=0.013), but there were no significant differences in the other parameters. There were no significant differences in the cardiac function parameters between the standard cine sequence and the 2-shot cine sequence. Spearman correlation analysis showed that there were good correlations in the cardiac function parameters between the standard cine and the ss CS cine, and the standard cine and the 2-shot CS cine (all P<0.01). Conclusion The acquisition time of 2-shot CS cine and ss CS cine sequences is significantly shorter than that of standard cine sequence. However, 2-shot CS cine sequence can obtain images closer to the images obatined by standard cine sequence, which can be use d to accurately evaluate the cardiac function.
