Motion-Attenuated Contrast-Enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging And Related Method Thereof
Motion-Attenuated Contrast-Enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging And Related Method Thereof
US Patent:
2010019, Jul 29, 2010
Filed:
Jan 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/696433
Inventors:
Michael Salerno - Charlottesville VA, US

Assignee:
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA PATENT FOUNDATION - Charlottesville VA
International Classification:
A61B 5/055
US Classification:
600420
Abstract:
A system and method for providing a dark-blood technique for contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance, improving visualization of subendocardial infarcts or perfusion abnormalities that may otherwise be difficult to distinguish from the bright blood pool. In one technique the dark-blood preparation is performed using a driven-equilibrium fourier transform (DEFT) preparation with motion sensitizing gradients which attenuate the signal in the ventricular cavities related to incoherent phase losses resulting from non-steady flow within the heart. This dark-blood preparation preserves the underlying contrast characteristics of the pulse sequence causing a myocardial infarction to be bright while rendering the blood pool dark. When applied to perfusion imaging, this dark-blood preparation will help eliminate artifacts resulting from the juxtaposition of a bright ventricular cavity and relatively dark myocardium.

International Classification:
G01R 33/48
US Classification:
324309, 324322
Abstract:
Systems and methods for Cartesian dynamic imaging are disclosed. In one aspect, in accordance with one example embodiment, a method includes acquiring magnetic resonance data for an area of interest of a subject that is associated with one or more physiological activities of the subject and performing image reconstruction comprising Kalman filtering or smoothing on Cartesian images associated with the acquired magnetic resonance data. Performing the image reconstruction includes increasing at least one of spatial and temporal resolution of the Cartesian images.
