ABSTRACT: Objectives
Two-dimensional (2D) through-plane phase-contrast (PC) cine flow imaging assesses shunts and valve regurgitations in paediatric CMR and is considered the reference standard for Clinical quantification of blood Flow (COF). However, longer breath-holds (BH) can reduce compliance with possibly large respiratory manoeuvres altering flow. We hypothesize that reduced BH time by application of CS (Short BH quantification of Flow) (SBOF) retains accuracy while enabling faster, potentially more reliable flows. We investigate the variance between COF and SBOF cine flows.Methods
Main pulmonary artery (MPA) and sinotubular junction (STJ) planes were acquired at 1.5 T in paediatric patients by COF and SBOF.Results
21 patients (mean age 13.9, 10-17y) were enrolled. The
