A comparison of a free-breathing, 3D stack of spirals
acquisition with a conventional breath-hold 2D Cartesian
acquisition for late gadolinium enhancement imaging of
the left ventricle at 3T. Spiral imaging allowed
increased spatial resolution while shortening the data
acquisition window and total acquisition duration
compared with an equivalent stack of 2D images. Image
quality achieved was similar with increased LV blood
pool SNR and similar blood / myocardium CNR on spiral
images.
