Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate Fourier Analysis of Stimulated echoes (FAST) and CSPAMM for the quantification of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function and compare it with the previously validated FAST+SPAMM technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS: LV short-axis tagged images were acquired with CSPAMM and SPAMM in healthy volunteers (n = 13). The FAST method was used to automatically estimate LV systolic and diastolic twist parameters from rotation of the stimulated echo and stimulated anti-echo about the middle of k-space subsequent to ∼3 min of user interaction. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between measures obtained for FAST+CSPAMM and FAST+SPAMM for mean peak twist (13.5 ± 2.7° versus 11.9 ± 4.0°), torsion (3.4 ± 0.8°/cm versus 2.9 ± 1.0°/cm), twisting rate (76.8 ± 22.2°/s versus 68.2 ± 23.4°/s), untwisting rate (-102.7 ± 24.6°/s versus -106.6 ± 32.4°/s), normalized untwisting rate (-7.9 ± 2.2/s versus -9.9 ± 4.4/s), and time of peak twist (279 ± 23 ms versus 293 ± 25 ms) (all P > 0.01). FAST+CSPAMM also provided measures of duration of untwisting (148 ± 21 ms) and the ratio of rapid untwist to peak twist (0.8 ± 0.3). Bland-Altman analysis of FAST+CSPAMM and FAST+SPAMM twist data demonstrates excellent agreement with a bias of 1.1° and 95% confidence intervals of [-3.3°, 5.2°]. CONCLUSION: FAST+CSPAMM is a semi-automated method that provides a quick and quantitative assessment of LV systolic and diastolic twist and torsion.
