Résumé
CMR at 3.0T in the presence of active cardiac implants remains a challenge due to susceptibility artifacts. Beyond a signal void that cancels image information, magnetic field inhomogeneities may cause distorted appearances of anatomical structures. Understanding influencing factors and the extent of distortion are a first step towards optimizing the image quality of CMR with active implants at 3.0T. All measurements were obtained at a clinical 3.0T scanner. An in-house designed phantom with a 3D cartesian grid of water filled spheres was used to analyze the distortion caused by four representative active cardiac devices (cardiac loop recorder, pacemaker, 2 ICDs). For imaging a gradient echo (3D-TFE) sequence and a turbo spin echo (2D-TSE) sequence were used. The work defines metrics to quantify the different features of distortion such as changes in size, location and signal intensity. It introduces a specialized segmentation technique based on a reaction-diffusion-equation. The distortion features are dependent on the amount of magnetic material in the active implants and showed a significant increase when measured with the 3D TFE compared to the 2D TSE. This work presents a quantitative approach for the evaluation of image distortion at 3.0T caused by active cardiac implants and serves as foundation for both further optimization of sequences and devices but also for planning of imaging procedures.
