ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To assess myocardial strain using cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) using 1.5T and 3.0T MRI in healthy adults. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Healthy adults without any history of cardiovascular disease underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 1.5T and 3.0T within 2 days. The MRI protocol included balanced steady-state free-precession (b-SSFP), 2D cine-echo planar imaging (EPI)-DENSE, and late gadolinium enhancement in subjects >45 years. Acquisitions were divided into six segments; global and segmental peak longitudinal and circumferential strain were derived and analyzed by field strength, age, and gender.RESULTS:
In all, 89 volunteers (mean age 44.8 ± 18.0 years, range 18-87 years) underwent MRI at 1.5T, and 88 of these subjects underwent MRI at 3.0T (1.4 ± 1.4 days between the scans). Compared with 3.0T, the magnitudes of global circumferential (-19.5 ± 2.6% vs. -18.47 ± 2.6%; P = 0.001) and longitudinal (-12.47 ± 3.2% vs. -10.53 ± 3.1%; P = 0.004) strain were greater at 1.5T. At 1.5T, longitudinal strain was greater in females than in males -10.17 ± 3.4% vs. -13.67 ± 2.4%; P = 0.001. Similar observations occurred for circumferential strain at 1.5T (-18.72 ± 2.2% vs. -20.10 ± 2.7%; P = 0.014) and at 3.0T (-17.92 ± 1.8% vs. -19.1 ± 3.1%; P = 0.047). At 1.5T, longitudinal and circumferential strain were not associated with age after accounting for sex (longitudinal strain P = 0.178, circumferential strain P = 0.733). At 3.0T, longitudinal and circumferential strain were associated with age (P < 0.05). Longitudinal strain values were greater in the apico-septal, basal-lateral, and mid-lateral segments and circumferential strain in the inferior, infero-lateral, and antero-lateral LV segments.CONCLUSION:
Myocardial strain parameters as revealed by cine-DENSE at different MRI field strengths were associated with myocardial region, age, and sex. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2016;441197-1205.Palavras-chave
