Abstract Objective: Follow-up of right ventricular performance is important for patients with congenital
heart disease. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is optimal for this purpose. However, observerdependency of manual analysis of right ventricular volumes limit its use. Knowledge-based reconstruction is a new semiautomatic analysis tool that uses a database including knowledge of right
ventricular shape in various congenital heart diseases. We evaluated whether knowledge-based
reconstruction is a good alternative for conventional analysis.
Design: To assess the inter- and intra-observer variability and agreement of knowledge-based versus conventional analysis of magnetic resonance right ventricular volumes, analysis was done by
two observers in a mixed… More >
