What has CMR to offer in adult-onset Still's disease? | ||
LV dysfunction | The gold standard for LV function | Cine—SSFP Strain, diffusion tensor |
Myocarditis | Identification and quantification. Follow up free of radiation. |
T2-W-STIR T1, T2-mapping, ECV LGE-PSIR |
Pericarditis | Identification. Measurement of pericardial thickness. Detection of inflammation. Detection of constriction. Follow up free of radiation. |
Cine—SSFP Free-breathing real-time cine T1-W, T2-W STIR LGE-PSIR |
Tamponade | Identification Assessment of severity and hemodynamic significance, detection of inflammation. |
Cine—SSFP or SSh Free-breathing real-time cine LGE-PSIR |
SSFP, steady-state free precession; T2-W, T2-weighted; STIR, short tau inversion recovery; LGE, late gadolinium enhancement; PSIR, Phase-sensitive inversion recovery; ECV, extracellular volume; SSh, single-shot.
