May enable rapid ventricular assessment in pediatric CHD; leaves open whether small EF differences affect clinical decisions.
Does real-time bSSFP spiral sequence with compressed sensing provide comparable assessment of ventricular volumes to standard breath-hold CMR in children with congenital heart disease?
Real-time bSSFP spiral CMR with compressed sensing significantly reduces scan time to ~20s with good agreement for biventricular metrics compared to standard breath-hold imaging in children with congenital heart disease.
