简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of 4D image acquisition and post-processing with Vios Works for the evaluation of 3D images acquired on GE Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanners. Specifically, the investigators propose to evaluate the following:
- Image acquisition time using traditional 2D and new 4D processing techniques;
- Image quality for 2D and 4D processing techniques subjectively
- Post-processing time for the two techniques.
- Correlation of overall Left ventricular and right ventricular volumes and functions and aortic and pulmonic flow studies using the two techniques.
- The study will monitor any changes in patient diagnoses or treatment resulting from any differences in interpretations between the two processes.
详细描述
Traditional scanning and post-processing of 2D Cardiac Magnetic Resonance images (CMRI) is highly technical and time consuming, with many exams requiring one to two hours to complete. In addition, performance of 2D scans often requires expert technologists working closely with the clinician imaging expert. These factors limit the general clinical utility of current generation cardiac MRI.
In order to address these factors, many researchers began to explore the use of 4D image acquisition and post processing to shorten exam time. These researchers have documented success at these efforts but, to the best of the current investigators' knowledge, such advanced imaging acquisition and post-processing systems are not readily commercially available in the US.
Recently GE teamed with Vios-Works for MRI to provide a cloud-based visualization platform for 4D MRI that provides quantitative and structured reporting in the post processing environment that makes use of advance MR imaging acquisition techniques. The images can be accessed by the interpreter and reviewed and manipulated in order to assess cardiac function and flow retrospectively, which, prior to this innovation, only has been available for computed tomography (CT) generated images.
This investigative team hypothesizes that the use of 4D imaging will result in reduced time for acquisition (approximately 6 minutes as opposed to 1 hour), and improvement of diagnostic capability.
Images will be acquired using the current standard 2D acquisition protocol for routine clinical cardiac MRI. A repeat acquisition will be completed using the new protocol for 4D imaging acquisition. This will require that patient exams be extended in length by six minutes for those enrolled in the study. The investigators will evaluate the image quality of the two techniques and grade them according to a scale of 1 to 3 with 1 being excellent cardiac borders easily identified; 2 - acceptable: cardiac borders acceptably identified; and 3, non-diagnostic. The investigators will specifically focus on the evaluation of cardiac function of both right and left ventricular function as well as flow analysis of both the aortic and pulmonic valves.

结局指标
主要结局
4D imaging findings and medical diagnoses resulting from images.
时间窗: Investigators are expected to interpret the 4D images in one sitting requiring 15 minutes to three hours, depending on exam complexity. The investigator will complete the scan review within 1 day to 1 month of the exam date.
Investigators will count the number of study outcomes documented that are related to patient treatment.
