Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac magnetic resonance T2 mapping in the monitoring and follow-up of acute cardiac transplant rejection: a pilot study.
Asad A Usman,Kirsi Taimen,Marie Wasielewski,Jennifer M McDonald,Saurabh Shah,Shivraman Giri,William Cotts,William Cotts,Edwin C. McGee,Robert J. Gordon,Robert J. Gordon,Jeremy D. Collins,Michael Markl,James C. Carr +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors hypothesize that prolonged T2 reflects transplant rejection and that quantitative T2 mapping will concur with the pathological and clinical findings of acute rejection, and they suggest potential use in characterizing rejections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary wall MR Imaging in patients with rapid heart rates: a feasibility study of black-blood steady-state free precession (SSFP)
Kai Lin,Xiaoming Bi,Kirsi Taimen,Sven Zuehlsdorff,Biao Lu,Biao Lu,James C. Carr,Debiao Li,Debiao Li +8 more
TL;DR: With its higher performance under fast heart rate conditions, SSFP may break through the existing thresholds for heart rate and extend clinical applicability of coronary wall MR imaging to a larger population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Black-blood steady-state free precession (SSFP) coronary wall MRI for cardiac allografts: a feasibility study.
TL;DR: To assess the hypothesis that steady‐state free procession (SSFP) allows for imaging of the coronary wall under the conditions of fast heart rate in heart transplantation patients, a large number of patients with high heart rate patients are surveyed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The detection of coronary stiffness in cardiac allografts using MR imaging.
TL;DR: In this article, biomechanical changes are quantitatively related to morphological features of coronary arteries in heart transplant (HTx) recipients, and the hypothesis is tested to test the hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac magnetic resonance T2 mapping for monitoring acute cardiac transplant rejection.
Asad A Usman,Kirsi Taimen,Marie Wasielewski,Saurabh Shah,Jermey D Collins,Jennifer M McDonald,James C. Carr +6 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that prolonged T2 relaxation in transplant edema reflects rejection, and that quantitative T2 mapping will correlate with pathological and clinical findings.
