Physicians Pre-Conference: Cardiac Function-Cine Imaging acquisition and recognizing artifacts

Cine Imaging acquisition and recognizing artifacts

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker reviews best practices for cardiac cine MRI acquisition, emphasizing SSFP sequences, appropriate temporal/spatial resolution, no-gap short-axis stacks, and practical planning from standardized guides. He then details common artifacts: off-resonance from metal or incorrect tuning, motion from arrhythmia or breathing, wraparound and parallel imaging artifacts, chemical shift, and hardware-related zipper or spike noise. He stresses monitoring during acquisition to anticipate problems and adjust or stop scans when needed. Cine MRI’s diagnostic value is highlighted with a pericardial disease example where limited images still enabled diagnosis.
