How do steady-state free precession (SSFP) and fast gradient echo (FGRE) cine MRI compare for the determination of myocardial mass and volumes?
Demonstrates a linear relationship between SSFP and FGRE cine MRI for LV function parameters, allowing conversion of existing FGRE databases to SSFP values.
Linear relationships exist for key LV function parameters when comparing SSFP and FGRE cine MRI. These results indicate that existing databases and normal values for FGRE LV function may be converted to corresponding LV function values for SSFP MRI.
