Table 5 Advantages and Disadvantages of White Blood Cine Imaging Techniques
From: The 20 year evolution of dobutamine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Technique | Advantage | Disadvantage |
|---|---|---|
FGRE (breathhold) | Reliable at elevated regular heart rate | Breathhold = 12 seconds |
FGRE (respiration-triggered) | No Breath-holding | 45-second scan |
SSFP | Apical views | Artifact at elevated heart rates |
SENSE | Rapid acquisition | Unknown reliability; potentially low temporal resolution |
Real-time | Rapid acquisition | Noise, lower spatial and temporal resolution |
