Detection of papillary muscle infarction by late gadolinium enhancement: incremental value of short-inversion time vs. standard imaging

Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can detect myocardial scar in patients with myocardial infarction. The detection of papillary muscle infarction (PMI) may be difficult due to the bright blood signal. The aim of our study was to evaluate the incrementa...

Zusammenfassung:	Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can detect myocardial scar in patients with myocardial infarction. The detection of papillary muscle infarction (PMI) may be difficult due to the bright blood signal. The aim of our study was to evaluate the incremental value of LGE CMR imaging using an inversion recovery (IR)-GRE with a short-inversion time (TI) over standard LGE imaging in identifying PMI. Fifty-six patients with myocardial infarction were studied using a standard IR-GRE LGE sequence with an adjusted TI to null the signal intensity of normal myocardium and with a 3D IR-GRE with a short TI (
