Diminished systolic function or inappropriate hypertrophy are considered risk factors for
outcome following the Fontan procedure. These parameters are difficult to assess in …

OBJECTIVE. The quantification of cardiac flow and ventricular volumes is an essential goal
of many congenital heart MRI examinations, often requiring acquisition of multiple 2D phase …

Purpose: To provide reference data for atrial size and function during childhood and
adolescence by cardiac MR (CMR). Materials and Methods: We prospectively examined 115 …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate correlation of 2‐dimensional (2D)
echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) size and …

Background—Flow quantification in real time by phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI) may provide
unique hemodynamic information in congenital heart disease, but available techniques …

Purpose: Current standards in magnetic resonance imaging of congenital heart disease are
based mostly on anisotropic protocols to image both morphology and function. Operator …

Parametric mapping, that is, a pixel-wise map of magnetic relaxation parameters, expands
the diagnostic potential of cardiac magnetic resonance by enabling quantification of …

Background Cardiovascular flow is commonly assessed with two-dimensional, phase-
contrast MRI (2-D PC-MRI). However, scan prescription and acquisition over multiple planes …

The purpose of this study was to establish reference ranges for magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) measurements of the adult right ventricle stratified by gender. Cardiovascular MRI is …

BACKGROUND: In older children, one of the standards for indexing left ventricular mass
(LVM) is height raised to an exponential power of 2.7. The purpose of this study was to …
