CMR analysis variations may bias LV EF and mass; leaves open optimal standardization for reference values.
How do variations in CMR image analysis methodology and geometric modeling impact the quantification of left ventricular indices?
Real-world variability in CMR image analysis methodology leads to significant differences in LV mass, volume, and EF measurements, highlighting the need for standardized techniques and appropriate reference ranges.
Miller et al. (2012) studied this question.
