Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences of ejection fraction of left ventricle through the quantitative analysis of diastolic and systolic volumes according to slices selected using cardiac MR imaging. A total of 12 volunteers (7 normal, 1 myocardium bridge, and 4 arrhythmia) underwent cardiac MRI on a MR scanner(Magnetom Trio, Siemens, Germany). Ejection fractions for quantitative analysis were calculated at single slice of center of left ventricle, 3, 5, and 6-7 slices extending from the center of left ventricle. Average values were analyzed for evaluating differences of ejection fraction according to the number of slices selected. Mean value of normal person of ejection fraction were 67.14% at single slice of center of left ventricle, 66.24% at 3 slices, 65.63% at 5 slices, and 65.29% at 6-7 slices. While ejection fraction obtained from a patient with 61.74% at single slice of center of left ventricle, 60.92% at 3 slices, 60.89% at 5 slices, and 61.89% at 6-7 slices. There was no significant differences by the number of slices selected. This study demonstrates that ejection fraction obtained from single slice of center of left ventricle may represent a optimum parameter for cardiac function, instead of the value calculated on the variable slices selected.

본 연구의 목적은 cardiac MRI를 이용하여 확장기와 수축기의 정량적 측정을 통해 각 단면의 심박출률의 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 총 12명(정상 7명, 심근교 1명, 부정맥 4명)을 대상으로 심첨에서부터 대동맥궁 쪽으로 단면을 얻었다. 수축기와 확장기 영상을 확대하여 경계를 정하였고, 이 면적을 바탕으로 1, 3, 5, 6-7단면의 심박출률을 구하였다. 정상인의 평균 박출률은 각각 1, 3, 5, 6-7단면에서 67.14%, 66.24%, 65.63%, 그리고 65.29% 로 나타났다. 반면, 환자들의 평균 박출률은 각각 1, 3, 5, 6-7단면에서 61.74%, 60.92%, 60.89%, 그리고 61.89%로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 cardiac MRI를 이용한 특정단면의 심박출률은 각 단면마다 큰 차이가 없음을 알 수 있었고 따라서 cardic MRI를 이용한 심박출계수의 평가는 대표 단면만으로 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
