For the last 15 years, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become a reference
examination for cardiac morphology, function and perfusion in humans. Yet, due to the …

Recent developments in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the heart have refocused
attention on the potential of MR and continue to attract intense interest within the radiology …

Background—Two-dimensional echocardiography is currently the standard test for the
clinical diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The present study was undertaken …

Background Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a myocardial disorder characterized
by excessive left ventricular (LV) trabeculae. Current methods for quantification of LV …

This paper describes a segmentation technique to automatically extract the myocardium in
4D cardiac MR and CT datasets. The segmentation algorithm is a two step process. The …

Background The purpose of the study was to compare the accuracy and evaluation time of
quantifying left ventricular (LV), left atrial (LA) volume and LV mass using short axis (SAX) …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to assess the relationship of left ventricular (LV)
trabeculae and papillary muscles (TPM) with clinical characteristics in a community-based …

Objective: To evaluate the effect of papillary muscle mass on the calculation of left
ventricular (LV) function and mass and to determine the relationship between papillary …

Purpose: To assess the impact of “real‐world” practice variation in the process of quantifying
left ventricular (LV) mass, volume indices, and ejection fraction (EF) from steady‐state free …

Aims An increase of left ventricular mass (LVM) has been reported in obese adolescents in
previous studies using echocardiography. The aim of our study was to determine the extent …
