Why the study?
Shorter breath-hold times or no breath-holds during cine bSSFP imaging are beneficial for assessing biventricular volumes and function in children and severely ill or sedated patients.
Does C-SENSE accelerated cine bSSFP imaging (breath-hold or free-breathing) provide comparable biventricular volume and function assessment to standard BH SENSE imaging in children and young adults?
Population
Patients with structurally normal hearts who could perform consistent breath-holds
Comparison
BH and FB cine bSSFP with C-SENSE factor 3 vs standard BH cine bSSFP with SENSE factor 2
Design
Retrospective comparative study

FB C-SENSE cine yields comparable biventricular volumes and function to standard BH SENSE in children; extends validation of accelerated sequences but leaves open need for prospective trials.
Does C-SENSE accelerated cine bSSFP imaging (breath-hold or free-breathing) provide comparable biventricular volume and function assessment to standard BH SENSE imaging in children and young adults?
C-SENSE accelerated cine bSSFP imaging provides comparable ventricular volumetric and functional indices to standard SENSE imaging while significantly reducing breath-hold times, offering a viable alternative for pediatric patients.
