The Korean Society of Cardiovascular Imaging provides standardized consensus recommendations for the visual and quantitative assessment of cardiovascular magnetic resonance tissue characterization.
This document is the third part of the guidelines for the protocol, the interpretation and post-processing of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) studies. These consensus recommendations have been developed by the Consensus Committee of the Korean Society of Cardiovascular Imaging to standardize the requirements for image interpretation and post-processing of CMR. This third part of the recommendations describes tissue characterization modules, including perfusion, late gadolinium enhancement, and T1- and T2 mapping. Additionally, this document provides guidance for visual and quantitative assessment consisting of "What-to-See," "How-To," and common pitfalls for the analysis of each module. The Consensus Committee hopes that this document will contribute to the standardization of image interpretation and post-processing of CMR studies.
Im et al. (2019) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated. The Korean Society of Cardiovascular Imaging provides standardized consensus recommendations for the visual and quantitative assessment of cardiovascular magnetic resonance tissue characterization.
