The role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in rheumatic heart disease

Cardiovascular involvement is a well-known feature of inflammatory rheumatic diseases, although often clinically silent, so early cardiovascular involvement may remain unrecognised. Thus, increased awareness and improved insights into the …

Cardiac MRI Texture Analysis of T1 and T2 Maps in Patients with Infarctlike Acute Myocarditis

Purpose To assess the diagnostic potential of texture analysis applied to T1 and T2 maps obtained with cardiac MRI for the diagnosis of acute infarctlike myocarditis. Conclusion Texture analysis of T2 maps shows high sensitivity and specificity for …

Knowledge-based iterative reconstructions for imaging of coronary artery stents - first in-vitro experience and comparison of different radiation dose levels and kernel settings

Texture analysis and machine learning of non-contrast T1-weighted MR images in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy-Preliminary results

PURPOSE To test in a first proof-of-concept study whether texture analysis (TA) allows for the detection of myocardial tissue alterations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) on non-contrast T1-weighted cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images using …

Subacute and Chronic Left Ventricular Myocardial Scar - Accuracy of Texture Analysis on Nonenhanced Cine MR Images

Purpose To test whether texture analysis (TA) allows for the diagnosis of subacute and chronic myocardial infarction (MI) on noncontrast material-enhanced cine cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images. Materials and Methods In this retrospective, …
