Journal ArticleDOI
Infarct tissue heterogeneity by magnetic resonance imaging identifies enhanced cardiac arrhythmia susceptibility in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
André Schmidt,Clerio F. Azevedo,Alan Cheng,Sandeep N. Gupta,David A. Bluemke,Thomas K. F. Foo,Gary Gerstenblith,Robert G. Weiss,Eduardo Marbán,Gordon F. Tomaselli,Joao A.C. Lima,Katherine C. Wu +11 more
TL;DR: Tissue heterogeneity is present and quantifiable within human infarcts and supports the hypothesis that anatomic tissue heterogeneity increases susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias in patients with prior myocardial infarction and LV dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated detection of bolus arrival and initiation of data acquisition in fast, three-dimensional, gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography.
TL;DR: Automatic triggering of magnetic resonance (MR) angiography with detection of a contrast material bolus with automatic triggering of MR Smartprep was evaluated and was reliable and avoided the inconsistencies of manual timing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of left ventricular volume and mass with breath-hold cine MR imaging.
Hajime Sakuma,Naoya Fujita,Thomas K. F. Foo,Gary R. Caputo,Sarah J. Nelson,Jaakko Hartiala,Ann Shimakawa,Charles B. Higgins +7 more
TL;DR: Breath-hold cine MR imaging is highly useful because an accurate assessment of cardiac function is obtained in less than 5 minutes, and measurements of LV end-diastolic volume, volume, and mass showed close correlation with conventional MR imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrast-enhanced abdominal MR angiography: Optimization of imaging delay time by automating the detection of contrast material arrival in the aorta
Martin R. Prince,Thomas L. Chenevert,Thomas K. F. Foo,Frank J. Londy,Jennifer S. Ward,Jeffrey H. Maki +5 more
TL;DR: Automatic triggering results in improved arterial-tovenous contrast, which increases arterial enhancement or enables MR angiograms to be obtained with less contrast material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myocardial First-Pass Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging A Multicenter Dose-Ranging Study
S.D. Wolff,Juerg Schwitter,Richard Coulden,Matthias G. Friedrich,David A. Bluemke,Robert W Biederman,Edward T. Martin,Alexandra J. Lansky,F. Kashanian,Thomas K. F. Foo,Paul E. Licato,C.R. Comeau +11 more
TL;DR: First-pass perfusion MRI is a safe and accurate test for identifying patients with obstructive coronary artery disease and a low dose of gadopentetate dimeglumine injection is at least as efficacious as higher doses.
