BACKGROUND: Myocardial fibrosis leads to impaired cardiac function and events.
Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) assessed with an iodinated contrast agent and …

Purpose To develop a cardiac computed tomographic (CT) method with which to determine
extracellular volume (ECV) fraction, with cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging as the …

Background Use of CT for assessment of extracellular volume fraction (ECV) is a new
approach toward the evaluation of diffuse and focal myocardial fibrosis. It has recently been …

Non-invasive quantification of the extracellular volume (ECV) is a method for the evaluation
of focal and diffuse myocardial fibrosis, potentially obviating the need for invasive …

Purpose of review This review article discusses the evolution of extracellular volume (ECV)
quantification using both cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed …

Background The quantification of extracellular volume fraction (ECV) by Cardiac Computed
Tomography (CCT) can identify changes in the myocardial interstitium due to fibrosis or …

Background Myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) derived from CT delayed
enhancement (CTDE) may allow assessment of diffuse myocardial fibrosis. However, the …

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is useful for the screening of coronary artery stenosis,
and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) analysis by CT using new dedicated software is now …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether extracellular volume
fraction (ECV) can reliably inform on the extent of diffuse fibrosis in the simultaneous …
