4D flow magnetic resonance imaging in bicuspid aortic valve disease demonstrates altered distribution of aortic blood flow helicity.

Changes in aortic geometry or presence of aortic valve (AoV) disease can result in substantially altered aortic hemodynamics. Dilatation of the ascending aorta or AoV abnormalities can result in an increase in helical flow.

Addendum zum „Curriculum Kardiale Magnetresonanztomographie (CMR)“

Im Curriculum heist es, dass zur Rezertifizierung CME-Punkte aus dem Bereich der kardialen Magnetresonanztomografie (CMR) nachgewiesen werden mussen. Fur spezielle CMR-Fortbildungen oder die internationalen CMR-Kongresse (Society of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance [SCMR]/EuroCMR) ist dies eindeutig. Fur die Fruhjahrstagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Kardiologie (DGK) und den Jahreskongress der Europaischen Gesellschaft fur Kardiologie (ESC) ist es aber im Einzelnen schwierig zu differenzieren, welche Sessions zum Thema CMR besucht wurden. Hier hat die Task Force Zertifizierung CMR der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Kardiologie entschieden, die CME-Punkte der FT und des ESC-Kongresses vollstandig anzurechnen.

Comparison of three multichannel TX/RX coils for anatomic and functional CMR at 7.0T

Background Ultrahigh field cardiac MR (CMR) is an area of vigorous ongoing research and is regarded as one of the most challenging MRI applications since image quality is not always exclusively defined by signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). The progress in the field has been driven by pioneering explorations into hardware developments which focused on novel multichannel transmit and receive coil arrays technology to tackle the challenges of B1-field inhomogeneities. Consequently, transmit-receive (TX/RX) structures are not a nicety but a necessity for ultrahigh field CMR including a trend towards a large number of transmit and receive channels. For all these reasons, this study was designed to compare the quality of anatomical and functional CMR at 7.0 T under clinical aspects using cardiac optimized transceive coils that use loop structures with the number of TX/RX elements ranging from 4-16.

3.08 – MRI of the Cardiovascular System

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is increasingly used to noninvasively image the cardiovascular morphology and function in clinical routine as well as for research purposes. This chapter gives insights into the challenges of imaging the cardiovascular system compared to other organs and provides an overview of currently used technology, the versatility of applications, and some future trends.
