Motivation: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is crucial for prognostic markers assessment, allowing for post-infarction risk stratification. However, these independent markers are obtained through the use of different sequences, inducing complex planning, repetitive breath-holds, uncoregistered images and complex post-processing analysis due to suboptimal scar contrast with gold-standard method.
Goal(s): We propose SPOT-MAPPING, a ‘one-click’ joint black- and bright-blood and T2 mapping sequence providing prognostic markers in patients with acute STEMI.
Approach: SPOT-MAPPING was compared to reference sequences in patients with acute STEMI.
Results: SPOT-MAPPING enabled prognostic markers assessment with no statistically significant differences when compared to reference techniques, in a fast and co-registered fashion.
Impact: The proposed ‘one-click’ SPOT-MAPPING permits easier and faster planning for MR technicians, more comfort for patients with acute STEMI, promoted by fewer breath-holds, and a simplified analysis for medical professionals, through co-registered, qualitative and quantitative images.
