Are there standardized, discrete cut-off values in T1/T2 mapping and extracellular volume fraction to aid in the diagnosis of various cardiomyopathies, or are these values largely scanner/institution specific?
Is there a role in regional analyses with T1/T2 mapping, such as in the case of RV cardiomyopathies?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
T1/T2 mapping and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) are advanced parametric mapping MRI techniques increasingly used in the diagnosis and tissue characterization of different cardiac pathologies. However, the standardization of cut-off values for these parameters remains a challenge. These values ...
