Detection of acute reperfusion myocardial hemorrhage with cardiac MR imaging: T2 versus T2.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate T2 and T2* changes in acute reperfused hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic myocardial infarctions and to determine which technique is more suitable in the detection of intramyocardial hemorrhage at 1.5 T.Patient studies were approved by the institutional review board and were HIPAA compliant. Patients (n = 14, three women) with first ST-elevation myocardial infarction underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging 3 days after angioplasty. T2* maps, T2 short inversion time inversion-recovery (STIR) images, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images were acquired. Animal studies were approved by the institutional animal care and use committee. Canines (n = 20) were subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury, and cardiac MR imaging was performed 5 days after reperfusion. T2* and T2 maps and T2 STIR and LGE images were acquired. Repeated-measures analysis of variance or the Friedman test was used to compare T2 and T2* changes in patients with hemorrhagic infarctions and those with nonhemorrhagic infarctions.Relative to remote myocardium, mean T2* of hemorrhagic infarctions was 54% ± 13 (standard deviation) lower in patients (15.9 msec ± 4.5 vs 35.2 msec ± 2.1, P < .001) and 40% ± 10 lower in canines (23.0 msec ± 4.0 vs 39.3 msec ± 2.5, P < .001). Mean T2* of nonhemorrhagic infarctions was marginally elevated by 6% ± 2.5 (37.8 msec ± 2.5, P = .021) in patients and by 8% ± 5 (44.6 msec ± 4.8, P = .012) in canines. In contrast, mean T2 STIR signal intensity (SI) of both hemorrhagic infarctions and nonhemorrhagic infarctions was higher than that in remote myocardium both in patients (hemorrhagic: 37% ± 19, P < .001; nonhemorrhagic: 78% ± 27, P < .001) and in canines (hemorrhagic: 42% ± 22, P < .001; nonhemorrhagic: 65% ± 22, P < .001). Consistent with STIR SI findings, mean T2 of both hemorrhagic (62.0 msec ± 4.9) and nonhemorrhagic (71.7 msec ± 7.3) infarctions in canines was elevated relative to mean T2 of remote myocardium (52.1 msec ± 4.8) by 18% ± 9 and 38% ± 13, respectively (P < .001 for both).T2* cardiac MR imaging is more suitable than T2 cardiac MR imaging in the detection and characterization of acute reperfusion myocardial hemorrhage.http://radiology.rsna.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1148/radiol.13122397/-/DC1.

Project description:BackgroundSusceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) and T1/T2 mapping can be used to detect reperfusion intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. However, the sensitivity and accuracy of the SWI and T1/T2 mapping sequences were not systematically compared. The study aimed to evaluate image quality and diagnostic performance of SWI in patients with IMH, compared with T1/T2 mapping.MethodsA prospective study was conducted on consecutive acute STEMI patients who were recruited from January to July 2022. Within 2-6 days after reperfusion treatment, all patients underwent a 3T cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examination, including T2-weighted short-tau inversion recovery (T2W-STIR), T1/T2 mapping, and SWI. A total of 36 patients [age, 56.50±17.25 years; males, 83.33% (30/36)] were enrolled. The relative infarct-remote myocardium signal intensity ratio (SIinfarct-remote) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were calculated for each patient on T1/T2 mapping and SWI, and the difference between relative signal intensity-to-noise ratio (rSNR) in the IMH (rSNRIMH) was measured for IMH patients on T1/T2 mapping and SWI. SIinfarct-remote, CNR, and rSNRIMH were compared among the three sequences. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of three sequences by SIinfarct-remote and visual assessment.ResultsA total of 26 (72.22%) patients had IMH. Quantitatively, the SIinfarct-remote of three sequences had excellent diagnostic performance for detecting IMH [SWI area under the curve (AUC) =1.000, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.000-1.000 vs. T1 mapping AUC =0.954, 95% CI: 0.885-1.000 vs. T2 mapping AUC =0.985, 95% CI: 0.955-1.000; SWI vs. T1 mapping, P=0.300; SWI vs. T2 mapping, P=0.188; T1 mapping vs. T2 mapping, P=0.302). Qualitatively, three sequences had similar performance on detecting IMH (SWI AUC =0.895, 95% CI: 0.784-1.000; T1 mapping AUC =0.835, 95% CI: 0.711-0.958; and T2 mapping AUC =0.855, 95% CI: 0.735-0.974; SWI vs. T1 mapping, P=0.172; SWI vs. T2 mapping, P=0.317; T1 mapping vs. T2 mapping, P=0.710). The rSNRIMH was highest in T1 mapping, followed by T2 mapping and SWI, but SWI had the highest CNR.ConclusionsSWI, as well as T1/T2 mapping, is a feasible and accurate approach for clinical diagnosis of IMH with excellent performance.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images are often collected with different imaging parameters, which may impact the calculated values of myocardial radiomic features.PurposeTo investigate the sensitivity of myocardial radiomic features to changes in imaging parameters in cardiac MR images.Study typeProspective.PopulationA total of 11 healthy participants/five patients.Field strength/ sequenceA 3 T/cine balanced steady-state free-precession, T1 -weighted spoiled gradient-echo, T2 -weighted turbo spin-echo, and quantitative T1 and T2 mapping. For each sequence, the flip angle, in-plane resolution, slice thickness, and parallel imaging technique were varied to study the sensitivity of radiomic features to alterations in imaging parameters.AssessmentMyocardial contours were manually delineated by experienced readers, and a total of 1023 radiomic features were extracted using PyRadiomics with 11 image filters and six feature families.Statistical testsSensitivity was defined as the standardized mean difference (D effect size), and the robust features were defined at sensitivity < 0.2. Sensitivity analysis was performed on predefined sets of reproducible features. The analysis was performed using the entire cohort of 16 subejcts.Results64% of radiomic features were robust (sensitivity < 0.2) to changes in any imaging parameter. In qualitative sequences, radiomic features were most sensitive to changes in in-plane spatial resolution (spatial resolution: 0.6 vs. flip angle: 0.19, parallel imaging: 0.18, slice thickness: 0.07; P < 0.01 for all); in quantitative sequences, radiomic features were least sensitive to changes in spatial resolution (spatial resolution: 0.07 vs. slice thickness: 0.16, flip angle: 0.24; P < 0.01 for all). In an individual feature level, no singular feature family/image filter was identified as robust (sensitivity < 0.2) across sequences; however, highly sensitive features were predominantly associated with high-frequency wavelet filters across all sequences (32/50 features).Data conclusionIn cardiac MR, a considerable number of radiomic features are sensitive to changes in sequence parameters.Evidence level1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.
