Synopsis
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is often limited by long scan times and the need for multiple breath holds. A Free-Running sequence may overcome this limitation by providing 3-D cine data in a free-breathing non-ECG-triggered acquisition of 7 minutes. The clinical applicability of this method was tested in a cohort of 9 patients with varying pathologies. Myocardial blood-pool volumes and ejection fractions were compared between standard 2-D protocols and 5-D Free-Running-LIBRE. Free-Running-LIBRE successfully quantified volumes and ejection fractions with results correlating strongly to reference measurements. The method demonstrated additional potential to visualize irreversible myocardial injury in these patients.
