This technology includes a technique to improves detection of myocardial scar compared with conventional bright-blood late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) techniques. Dark-blood late gadolinium enhancement (DB-LGE) improves tissue delineation with signal suppression of the blood pool based on T2-preparation pulse that is relatively independent from the blood flow velocities and improves scar detection in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.
Commercial Applications
Improve CMR scanning of commercial CMR.
Competitive Advantages
Improves the quality and speed of scanning by imaging multiple parameters in a single free-breathing scan.
