Normal values for cardiovascular magnetic resonance in adults and children

Table 15 Right atrial volume and function in the adult for the SSFP technique based on the Simpson’s method according to reference [21]

Parameter	mean	SD	Lower/ upper limits*
Max. RA volume (ml)	101	30	41-161
Max. RA volume/BSA (ml/ m²)	53	16	21-85
Min. RA volume (ml)	50	19	12-88
Min. RA volume/BSA (ml/m²)	27	10	7-47
SV (ml)	50	16	18-82
SV/BSA (ml/m²)	26	9	8-44
EF (%)	47	8	31-63

RA = right atrial; Max. = maximal; Min. = minimal; SV = stroke volume; EF = ejection fraction; SD = standard deviation; BSA = body surface area; * = calculated as mean ± 2*SD; since no influence of gender was demonstrated, gender specific values are not presented.
