Assessment of global left and right ventricular function using dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) in comparison to MRI: an experimental study in a porcine model

OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the ability of retrospectively ECG-gated dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) to assess left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) functional parameters in comparison to 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten domestic pigs (60 kg) underwent both contrast-enhanced cardiac DSCT and cardiac MRI using standardized examination protocols under general anesthesia. From manually drawn endocardial and epicardial contours, LV and RV end-systolic (ESV) and end-diastolic volume (EDV), stroke volume (SV), ejection fraction (EF), myocardial mass (MM), peak filling rate (PFR), peak ejection rate (PER), time to peak ejection (TPE), and time to peak filling (TPF) were calculated by means of dedicated analysis software. LV and RV functional parameters were analyzed using Bland-Altman plots, Student t test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS: Both left and right ESV and EDV, SV and EF determined with DSCT correlated well with MR imaging results (left, r = 0.98/0.92/0.82/0.98; right, r = 0.90/0.94/0.96/0.94). PER, PFR, TPE, TPF, and MM showed only a moderate to low correlation (left, r = 0.67/0.37/0.23/0.35/0.57; right, r = 0.78/0.69/0.12/0.11/0.44). PER and PFR were significantly underestimated by DSCT when compared with MRI. CONCLUSIONS: Retrospectively ECG-gated DSCT correctly depicts end-systole and can accurately determine LV and RV volumes, SV, and EF in comparison to MRI. DSCT showed a significant underestimation of PER and PFR in comparison to MRI.     

Comparison of electron beam computed tomography with magnetic resonance imaging in assessment of right ventricular volumes and function

OBJECTIVE: Intraindividual comparison of right ventricular volumes and function using electron beam computed tomography (EBT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS: Twenty-seven patients with a known cardiac history were referred for evaluation of ventricular function parameters. The following standardized protocols were used: contrast-enhanced multislice mode EBT and gradient echo sequence MRI. Right ventricular end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV), and ejection fraction (EF) were calculated using a slice summation method. Interobserver variability was calculated. RESULTS: The correlation between the 2 methods was: r = 0.901 for EDV, r = 0.938 for ESV, r = 0.823 for SV, and r = 0.953 for EF. Electron beam computed tomography overestimated EDV and ESV slightly when compared with MRI (P < 0.05). No significant differences (P > 0.05) were found between SV and EF. Mean values determined by EBT and MRI were as follows: 168.6 +/- 62.3 mL and 153.7 +/- 59.1 mL for EDV, 104.7 +/- 60.4 mL and 95.1 +/- 54.8 mL for ESV, 63.2 +/- 19.3 mL and 58.7 +/- 19.8 mL for SV, and 40.2% +/- 14.1% and 40.2% +/- 13.6% for EF, respectively. Interobserver variability ranged between 1.0% and 3.2%. CONCLUSION: Electron beam computed tomography shows good agreement with a close correlation and an acceptable interobserver variability for right ventricular volumes and global function, with a small but significant overestimation of EDV and ESV when compared with MRI.     

Accuracy of different reconstruction intervals to quantify left ventricular function and mass in cardiac computed tomography examinations

PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy of cardiac dual-source CT (DSCT) reconstructions obtained at 5% and 10% of the cardiac cycle and MRI for quantifying global left ventricular (LV) function and mass in heart transplant recipients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We prospectively included 23 heart transplant recipients (21 male, mean age 60±11.7 years) who underwent cardiac DSCT and MRI examinations. We compared LV parameters on cardiac DSCT reconstructions obtained at 5% (0%-95%) and 10% (0%-90%) intervals of the cardiac cycle and on double-oblique short-axis MR images. We determined ejection fraction (EF), end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV), and myocardial mass using commercially available semiautomated segmentation analysis software for DSCT datasets and conventional manual contour tracing for MR studies. RESULTS: Using different reconstruction intervals to quantify LV parameters at DSCT resulted in non-significant differences (P>.05). Compared to MRI, DSCT slightly overestimated LV-EDV, ESV, and mass when both 5% (11.5±25.1ml, 6.8±10.9ml, and 28.3±21.6g, respectively) and 10% (mean difference 15.3±26.3ml, 7.4±11.5ml, and 29.3±18.7g, respectively) reconstruction intervals were used. DSCT and MRI estimates of EF and SV were not significantly different. CONCLUSION: In heart transplant recipients, DSCT allows reliable quantification of LV function and mass compared with MRI, even using 10% interval reconstructions.

Improved reproducibility of right ventricular volumes and function estimation from cardiac magnetic resonance images using level-set models.

This study aims to assess whether an alternative method, that is based on volumetric surface detection (VoSD) without tracing and is totally free of geometric assumptions, can improve the reproducibility of right ventricular (RV) volume quantification from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images, in comparison with a conventional disk-area technique. In a sample of 23 patients, with wide variability of RV end-diastolic volume (EDV: 47-131 ml), end-systolic volume (ESV: 20-76 ml), and ejection fraction (EF: 29-73%), using the standard method (Argus, Siemens) as the reference, the VoSD method showed good agreement for EDV, ESV, and EF estimations (correlation coefficient: 0.91, 0.94, and 0.94; Bland-Altman biases: 1 ml, 1 ml, and 0%; limits of agreement: +/-16 ml, +/-11 ml, and +/-11%, respectively). An analysis of the reproducibility of the two methods showed lower intraobserver variability for the VoSD method than for the conventional method, as evidenced by the coefficient of variability (CoV) values (2-6% vs. 8-15%; P < 0.05). In addition, the VoSD method showed improved interobserver reproducibility (7-10% vs. 8-15%), but the difference was statistically significant only for EF estimation variability (8 vs. 15%, P < 0.05). In conclusion, the newly developed VoSD technique allows accurate measurements of RV volumes and function, and appears to be more reproducible than the conventional methodology.     

Assessment of left ventricular myocardial function using 16-slice multidetector-row computed tomography: comparison with magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography

Objective To assess functional parameters using multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) and echocardiography and to compare the results with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and methods End-diastolic-volume (EDV), end-systolic-volume (ESV), stroke-volume (SV), ejection-fraction (EF), and myocardial mass (MM) were calculated based on CT data sets from 52 patients. Echocardiography was performed in 24 of the 52 patients. The results from MDCT and echocardiography were compared with MRI. Results A strong correlation between MDCT and MRI (r=0.66–0.90) was found for all parameters. Echocardiography revealed a low or moderate correlation (0.05–0.59). Compared to MRI the average differences with MDCT were for EDV 15.1 ml, ESV 10.6 ml, SV 4.5 ml, EF 1.8%, and MM 8.2 g, for EDV determined by echocardiography 36.2 ml, ESV 6.8 ml, and EF 13.9%. Bland-Altman analysis revealed acceptable limits of agreement between MRI and MDCT. Conclusions MDCT enables reliable quantification of left ventricular function. Echocardiography was found to have only a moderate agreement of functional parameters with MRI.

肺心病患者左右心功能的MRI研究

目的探讨MRI评价肺心病患者左、右心功能的应用价值。资料与方法前瞻性研究18例经肺功能实验、临床检查、X线、心电图、超声心动图等影像学检查证实为合并慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)的肺心病患者,另选取18名健康志愿者作为对照组。采用1.5 T MRI仪测量两组左、右室心功能及右室心肌质量。采用独立样本t检验测量两组间差异是否有统计学意义。结果 2例肺心病患者MRI检查时由于屏气时间长、不能配合而排除。与对照组比较,16例肺心病患者右室(right ventricle,RV)舒张末期容积(end-diastolic volume,EDV)、右室收缩末期容积(end-systolic volume,ESV)及右室心肌质量(myocardial mass,MM)明显增加(P<0.05),而右室射血分数(ejec-tion fraction,EF)明显减低(P<0.01)。左室EDV及EF显著减低(P<0.01)。结论肺心病患者随着肺动脉压升高,超过右心室的代偿能力,促使右心室扩大和右心功能衰竭,同时左心功能损伤。MRI左右心功能的测量可以评价肺心病的严重程度,为临床提供治疗的客观依据。
