BACKGROUND: Irregular cardiac motion can render conventional segmented cine MRI nondiagnostic. Clustering has been proposed for cardiac motion binning and may be optimized for complex arrhythmias.
PURPOSE: To develop an adaptive cluster optimization method for irregular cardiac motion, and to generate the corresponding time-resolved cine images.
STUDY TYPE: Prospective.
SUBJECTS: Thirteen with atrial fibrillation, four with premature ventricular contractions, and one patient in sinus rhythm.
FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: Free-running balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) with sorted golden-step, reference real-time sequence.
ASSESSMENT: Each subject underwent both the sorted golden-step bSSFP and the reference Cartesian real-time imaging. Golden-step bSSFP images were reconstructed using the dynamic regularized adaptive cluster optimization (DRACO) method and k-means clustering. Image quality (4-point Likert scale), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), edge sharpness, and ventricular function were assessed.
STATISTICAL TESTS: Paired t-tests, Friedman test, regression analysis, Fleiss' Kappa, Bland-Altman analysis. Significance level P < 0.05.
RESULTS: The DRACO method had the highest percent of images with scores ≥3 (96% for diastolic frame, 93% for systolic frame, and 93% for multiphase cine) and the percentages were significantly higher compared with both the k-means and real-time methods. Image quality scores, SNR, and CNR were significantly different between DRACO vs. k-means and between DRACO vs. real-time. Cardiac function analysis showed no significant differences between DRACO vs. the reference real-time.
CONCLUSION: DRACO with time-resolved reconstruction generated high quality images and has early promise for quantitative cine cardiac MRI in patients with complex arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation.
TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.
