Abstract:OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of free-breathing magnetic resonance sequence with three excitations in the determination of ventricular volumes and masses in individuals without breath-holding. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Left ventricular volumes and masses determined in 32 healthy volunteers through two cine magnetic resonance imaging sequences were compared: the first sequence, traditionally utilized and considered as a standard, performed under apnea, with a single excitation, and the second one, with free-… Show more
