4 CH PSIR
A. SAX PRE CONTRAST SSFP. B. SAX POST CONTRAST PSIR
What is the value of the dynamic perfusion in marked irregular right ventricular hypertrophy?
The value of the dynamic perfusion is to exclude the possibility of any infiltrative masses such as lymphoma.
The left hand image is a 4 chamber post contrast phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR), showing marked enhancement of the right ventricular free wall and insertional septum. There is also involvement of the true apex.
The right hand photo is a set of 2 images: A. is short axis SSFP shows hypertrophy of the septum and the right ventricle free wall. B. Delayed short axis PSIR shows marked enhancement of the areas of hypertrophy.
