Abstract
OBJECTIVES: We sought to distinguish area at risk from salvage myocardial zone and to predict left ventricle functional recovery in the convalescent stage by Texture Analysis (TA) of T2-Mapping. METHODS: One hundred and six patients diagnosed with AMI and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) underwent acute cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and 45 of whom had a subsequent CMR scan following recovery. Cine imaging, T2-Mapping, T2-weighted STIR imaging, and LGE imaging were performed. In the texture analysis, regions of interest (infarcted, salvageable, and remote) were drawn by two blinded, independent readers. RESULTS: Seven independent texture features on T2-Mapping were selected: Perc.50%, S(2,2)InvDfMom, S(2.-2)AngScMom, S(4,0)Entropy, 45dgrLngREmph, 45dgr_Fraction and 135dr_GLevNonU. Among them, the average value of 135dr_GLevNonU in the infarct zone, AAR zone, and the remote zone was: 61.96±26.03, 31.811±18.933 and 99.839±26.231, respectively. Additionally, 135dr_GLevNonU provided the highest area under the curve (AUC) from the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) for distinguishing AAR from the infarct zone in each subgroup (all patients, patients with MVO and)were 0.845 ± 0.052 0.855 ± 0.083 and 0.845 ± 0.066, respectively, and were more promise than T2-Mapping mean (p<0.001). The AUC for differentiating AAR from the remote zone is 0.942±0.041. Texture features are not associated with convalescent decreased strain, ejection fraction (EF) or left ventricle remodeling (LVR) in analysis (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: TA of T2-mapping can distinguish AAR from both the infarct zone and the remote myocardial zone without LGE imaging in reperfused AMI. However, these features are not able to predict patients' functional recovery in the convalescent stage.
