Both acute and chronic myocardial infarction (AMI and CMI, respectively) exhibit delayed enhancement; however, clinical decision-making processes frequently require the differentiation of these two types of myocardial injury.
To investigate the reliability of AMI and CMI characterization using native T mapping and its feasibility for discriminating AMI from CMI.
Case-control.
The study cohort comprised 12 AMI (mean post-MI, 3.75 ± 1.29 days) and 15 CMI (mean post-MI, 39.53 ± 6.10 days) Bama mini-pigs.
FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: Balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP), segmented-turbo-FLASH-PSIR, and modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) sequences at 3.0T.
The infarct sizes were compared on matching short-axis slices of late-gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) images and T maps by two experienced radiologists.
The infarct sizes were compared on matching short-axis slices of LGE images and T maps, and agreement was determined using linear regression and Bland-Altman analyses. The native T values were compared between AMI and CMI models (independent sample t-test). The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to assess inter- and intraobserver variability.
Measured infarct sizes did not differ between native T mapping and LGE images (AMI: P = 0.913; CMI: P = 0.233), and good agreement was observed between the two techniques (AMI: bias, -3.38 ± 19.38%; R = 0.96; CMI: bias, -10.55 ± 10.90%; R = 0.90). However, the native infarction myocardium T values and the T signal intensity ratio of infarct and remote myocardium (T SI ratio) did not differ significantly between AMI and CMI (P = 0.173).
Noncontrast native T mapping can accurately determine acute and chronic infarct areas as well as conventional LGE imaging; however, it cannot distinguish acute from chronic MI.

急性和慢性心肌梗死(AMI 和 CMI)分别表现出延迟增强;然而,临床决策过程经常需要区分这两种类型的心肌损伤。
利用原生 T 映射来研究 AMI 和 CMI 特征的可靠性及其区分 AMI 和 CMI 的可行性。
病例对照。
研究队列包括 12 例 AMI(平均心肌梗死后 3.75±1.29 天)和 15 例 CMI(平均心肌梗死后 39.53±6.10 天)巴马小型猪。
磁场强度/序列:3.0T 下的平衡稳态自由进动(bSSFP)、分段涡轮-FLASH-PSIR 和改良 Look-Locker 反转恢复(MOLLI)序列。
两名有经验的放射科医生在晚期钆增强(LGE)图像和 T 图谱的匹配短轴切片上比较梗死大小。
在 LGE 图像和 T 图谱的匹配短轴切片上比较梗死大小,并使用线性回归和 Bland-Altman 分析确定一致性。比较 AMI 和 CMI 模型之间的原生 T 值(独立样本 t 检验)。使用组内相关系数评估观察者内和观察者间的可变性。
在原生 T 映射和 LGE 图像之间,测量的梗死大小没有差异(AMI:P=0.913;CMI:P=0.233),并且两种技术之间观察到良好的一致性(AMI:偏倚,-3.38±19.38%;R=0.96;CMI:偏倚,-10.55±10.90%;R=0.90)。然而,AMI 和 CMI 之间的原生梗死心肌 T 值和梗死与远侧心肌的 T 信号强度比(T SI 比)没有显著差异(P=0.173)。
非对比原生 T 映射可以准确确定急性和慢性梗死区域,以及常规 LGE 成像;然而,它不能区分急性和慢性 MI。
