"Black blood" T2-weighted inversion-recovery MR imaging of the heart.
Abstract
PURPOSE: To develop a short-inversion-time inversion-recovery (STIR) magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequence for evaluating the myocardium that is relatively free of flow and motion artifact. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors implemented a breath-hold, cardiac-triggered STIR sequence with preparatory radio-frequency pulses to eliminate signal from flowing blood. A segmented rapid acquisition with relaxation enhancement (turbo spin echo) readout was used, with the inversion-recovery delay adjusted to null fat. The sequence was implemented at 1.0 and 1.5 T and tested in phantoms, five healthy volunteers, and three patients. RESULTS: Phantom studies confirmed the expected behavior of the sequence. In the volunteers, fat-suppressed images of the heart with STIR contrast were generated in a breath-hold period. Blood in the heart chambers was uniformly nulled, and motion artifacts were effectively suppressed. Focal high signal intensity consistent with edema was seen in two patients with acute myocardial infarction; in a third patient, a paracardiac mass was visualized and sharply demarcated relative to normal myocardium. CONCLUSION: Fast STIR imaging of the heart with effective suppression of flow and motion artifacts was implemented. The approach has much potential for high-contrast imaging in a variety of diseases affecting the heart and mediastinum.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
