Patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) often are excluded from receiving CMR scans at 3.0T due to ICD-induced image artifacts. This work aims to transfer sequence protocols established for CMR imaging in the presence of ICDs at 1.5T to a first human application at 3.0T. All measurements were performed on a clinical 3T MRI scanner. Phantom measurements were used to establish and optimize wideband PSIR LGE imaging at 3.0T. Volunteer measurements with externally placed ICDs were used for optimization of CINE imaging and wideband PSIR imaging. Thirdly, patients with implanted ICD were examined with the optimized protocols. Human measurements showed that SA stacks obtained with spoiled GRE after contrast agent showed a markedly lower artifact burden than the conventional approach. For scar imaging, a wideband PSIR with a bandwidth of 3kHz and a frequency offset of +750Hz allowed a sufficient suppression of relevant artifacts in the majority of scans. No strong correlation between the image quality and the distance between the cardiac silhouette and the device was detected. The presented work shows the feasibility of clinical cardiac MRI at 3.0T including GRE-CINE and wideband PSIR-LGE for patients with ICDs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
