May permit shorter CMR protocols without loss of EF/Qp/Qs reproducibility; leaves open prospective validation in broader populations.
Does shortened acquisition time affect the accuracy and reproducibility of left and right ventricular parameters measured by CMR in healthy volunteers and cardiovascular patients?
CMR provides highly reproducible measurements of left and right ventricular parameters, and shortened acquisition times do not significantly affect accuracy.
