The dark-rim artefact (DRA) is well known in 2D first-pass perfusion (FPP). The in-plane features of DRA are understood, but DRA has not been examined along the second phase-encoding (partition) direction for 3D FPP. The Gibbs contribution to DRAs in 2D FPP is minimised by finer resolution, but low through-plane resolutions of 3D FPP imply risk of partition axis DRAs. We investigated these new partition DRAs ("PDRAs") and partial volume effects due to coarse resolution of this direction.

Purpose—High resolution 3D late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging is performed withsingle R-wave gating to minimise lengthy acquisition durations. In patients with atrial fibrillation(AF), heart rate variability results in variable magnetisation recovery between sequence repeatsand image quality is often poor. In this study, we implemented and tested a dynamic inversiontime scheme designed to reduce sequence sensitivity to heart rate variations.Methods—An inversion-prepared 3D segmented gradient echo sequence was modified so thatthe inversion time (TI) varied automatically from beat-to-beat (dynamic-TI) based on the timesince the last sequence repeat. 3D LGE acquisitions were performed in 17 patients prior to RFablation of persistent AF both with and without dynamic-TI. Qualitative image quality scores,blood signal-to-ghosting ratios (SGRs) and blood-myocardium contrast-to-ghosting ratios (CGRs)were compared.Results—Image quality scores were higher with dynamic-TI than without (2.2 +/− 0.9 versus 1.8+/− 1.1, p = 0.008) as were blood-myocardium CGRs (13.8 +/− 7.6 versus 8.3 +/− 6.1, p = 0.003)and blood SGRs (19.6 +/− 8.5 versus 13.1 +/− 8.0, p = 0.003).Conclusions—The dynamic-TI algorithm improves image quality of 3D LGE imaging in thisdifficult patient population by reducing the sequence sensitivity to RR interval variations.

BackgroundCardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) measures the magnitudes and directions of intramyocardial water diffusion. Assuming the cross-myocyte components to be constrained by the laminar microstructures of myocardium, we hypothesized that cDTI at two cardiac phases might identify any abnormalities of laminar orientation and mobility in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).MethodsWe performed cDTI in vivo at 3 Tesla at end-systole and late diastole in 11 healthy controls and 11 patients with HCM, as well as late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) for detection of regional fibrosis.ResultsVoxel-wise analysis of diffusion tensors relative to left ventricular coordinates showed expected transmural changes of myocardial helix-angle, with no significant differences between phases or between HCM and control groups. In controls, the angle of the second eigenvector of diffusion (E2A) relative to the local wall tangent plane was larger in systole than diastole, in accord with previously reported changes of laminar orientation. HCM hearts showed higher than normal global E2A in systole (63.9° vs 56.4° controls, p =0.026) and markedly raised E2A in diastole (46.8° vs 24.0° controls, p < 0.001). In hypertrophic regions, E2A retained a high, systole-like angulation even in diastole, independent of LGE, while regions of normal wall thickness did not (LGE present 57.8°, p =0.0028, LGE absent 54.8°, p =0.0022 vs normal thickness 38.1°).ConclusionsIn healthy controls, the angles of cross-myocyte components of diffusion were consistent with previously reported transmural orientations of laminar microstructures and their changes with contraction. In HCM, especially in hypertrophic regions, they were consistent with hypercontraction in systole and failure of relaxation in diastole. Further investigation of this finding is required as previously postulated effects of strain might be a confounding factor.

Baseline offset errors on phase-contrast velocity imagescan be corrected using stationary tissue, for example sub-tracting fitted corrections from the image (1). Althoughcorrections are often curved over the FOV, 1st order(linear) fitting is typical. This may partly be due to lowSNR of static tissue making higher-order fitting unreli-able (2). Aim: To evaluate a new method acquiring addi-tional high SNR velocity images specifically to improveoffset correction.
