Establishing the Clinical Usefulness Of Dark Blood Late Gadolinium Enhancement Images For The Detection Of Small Subendocardial Left Ventricular Infarcts - An Evaluation Of The Novel TRAMINER Sequence By Comparison To Late Gadolinium Enhancement Images
- The purpose of this study is to show that the novel TRAMINER (T(Rho) and Magnetization
Transfer and Inversion Recovery) sequence provides at least as good visualization and
detection of sub-endocardial scarring, fibrosis, and acute infarction as the current
gold standard Inversion Recovery (IR) Turbo-Flash sequence.
- The hypothesis is that the TRAMINER sequence has the same or higher sensitivity in
detecting small sub-endocardial scarring than the inversion recovery segmented gradient
echo sequence known as IR-Turbo Fast low angle shot (IR Turbo-Flash), which is the
accepted current gold standard for the detection of myocardial viability.
