Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging Methods to Assess the Left Ventricle in Cardio-Oncology

Left Ventricle
Anatomy
 •  Single-phase white-blood imaging in 2-, 3-, and 4-chamber views
 •  Cine white-blood imaging in short-axis orientation for assessment of LVEDV, LVESV,
   stroke volume, LVEF, and LV mass
Function/flow
 •  Cine white-blood imaging in short-axis orientation for assessment of LV wall motion
   abnormalities
 •  Short- and long-axis strain imaging (tagged or feature-tracking methods)
Tissue characterization
 •  Native T1, T2, and T2* mapping
 •  Late gadolinium enhancement imaging
 •  Post-gadolinium contrast-enhanced T1 mapping

LV = left ventricular; LVEDV = left ventricular end-diastolic volume; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; LVESV = left ventricular end-systolic volume.
