[Quantification of cardiac function with multislice spiral CT using retrospective EKG-gating: comparison with MRI].
PURPOSE: To quantify left ventricular function derived from retrospectively ECG-gated multislice spiral CT (MSCT) data sets in comparison to MRI.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 16 patients (14 males, 2 females, mean age 56.8 +/- 11.5 years), retrospectively ECG-gated MSCT angiography of the coronary arteries and breath-hold steady state free precession cine MRI were performed. From MSCT data-sets, 20 axial image series were reconstructed every 5 % of the RR interval. Multiplanar images were reformatted in the short axis orientation from axial images. End-systolic and end-diastolic images were selected. From these images end-systolic volume (ESV), end-diastolic volume (EDV) and stroke volume (SV) as well as the ejection fraction (EF) and myocardial mass (MM) were determined using the Simpson's method and compared with MRI. Furthermore, image quality was assessed for both imaging modalities using a four point grading scale.
RESULTS: All parameters were found to have an excellent correlation between MSCT and MRI data (Pearson's correlation coefficient 0.95 - 0.99), without clinically relevant differences between both modalities. On average, the difference between both methods was 0.5 ml for ESV, 0.8 ml for EDV, 1.3 ml for SV, 0.9 % for EF and 2.3 g for MM. Image quality was slightly better for MRI (1.5 +/- 0.65) than for MSCT (1.64 +/- 0.74).
CONCLUSION: Retrospectively ECG-gated MSCT angiography can not only visualize the coronary arteries but also enables precise quantification of the left ventricular function from the same MSCT data set.
