Breath-hold and free-breathing quantitative assessment of biventricular volume and function using compressed SENSE: a clinical validation in children and young adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the breath-hold cine balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) imaging is well established for assessment of biventricular volumes and function, shorter breath-hold times or no breath-holds are beneficial in children and severely ill or sedated patients.

Methods

Clinical cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations from September 2019 to October 2019 that included breath-hold (BH) and free-breathing (FB) cine bSSFP imaging accelerated using compressed sensitivity encoding (C-SENSE) factor of 3 in addition to the clinical standard BH cine bSSFP imaging using SENSE factor of 2 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients with structurally normal hearts who could perform consistent BHs were included. Aortic flow measured by phase contrast acquisition
