Abstract Objective: When imaging the lower airway by MRI, the traditional technique turbo spin echo
(TSE) results in high quality 2D images, however planning and acquisition times are lengthy. An
alternative, delayed volume interpolated breath-holds examination (VIBE), is a 3D gradient echo
technique that produces high spatial resolution imaging of the airway in one breath-hold. The
objective of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the accuracy of lower airway measurements
obtained by delayed VIBE when compared to TSE.
Design: Patients with congenital heart disease who underwent a cardiac MRI (CMR) that included
a delayed VIBE sequence from 5/2008… More >
