Evaluation of Wideband Pulse Sequences for Suppressing Image Artifacts in Children with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices.

ABSTRACT: Purpose To determine whether wideband late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and wideband perfusion pulse sequences suppress image artifacts in children in the presence of a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED). Materials and Methods In the first experiment of this prospective study, unenhanced cardiac MRI was performed at 1.5 T in 18 healthy pediatric participants (median age, 12 years [range, 10-15 years]; 12 [67%] female) with and without a CIED generator taped in the subclavicular and abdominal positions. LGE and perfusion scans were performed with standard and wideband sequences in each state. Three clinical raters adjudicated the presence or absence of clinically relevant image artifacts. Image artifacts were also quantified. In the second experiment, wideband perfusion and LGE MR
