Three-dimensional phase-sensitive inversion-recovery Turbo FLASH sequence for the assessment of left ventricular myocardial scar in swine.

OBJECTIVES:We sought to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of free-breathing three-dimensional (3D) phase-sensitive inversion-recovery (PSIR) Turbo FLASH sequence for noninvasive assessment of left ventricular myocardial scar in swine models. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Nine Chinese minipigs with exper...
