Sequence | Imaging plane | Indication |
---|---|---|
Standard imaging | ||
Cine bSSFP | Short-axis stack | LV volumes, mass, and EF RV volumes, mass, and EF |
LV 2-chamber view LV 4-chamber view | ||
LV 3-chamber view (LVOT view) | LVOT obstruction and presence of systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve chordae and leaflets | |
Late gadolinium enhancement | Short-axis stack LV long-axis views RV-specific views | Extent of LGE via summation of short axis slices for calculation of percent myocardium with LGE; 2- and 4-chamber images for correlative data to rule out artifact |
Additional case-specific or comprehensive imaging | ||
T1-weighted imaging pre- and post-gadolinium | Short-axis stack LV long-axis views | Diffuse fibrosis Extracellular volume |
Tagged images (SPAMM or C-SPAMM) or feature tracking | Short-axis, LV long-axis | Myocardial deformation |
