Clinical practice in CMR with respect to cardiovascular disease is currently focused on tissue characterization, and cardiac function, in particular. In recent years MRI based diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been shown to enable the assessment of microstructure based on the analysis of Brownian motion of water molecules in anisotropic tissue, such as the myocardium. With respect to both functional and structural imaging, 7T MRI may increase SNR, providing access to information beyond the reach of clinically applied field strengths. To date, cardiac 7T MRI is still a research modality that is only starting to develop towards clinical application.
In this thesis we primarily aimed to advance methods of ultrahigh field CMR using the latest 7T technology and its application towards the functional and structural characterization of the myocardium.
Regarding the assessment of myocardial microstructure at 7T, feasibility of ex vivo DTI of large animal hearts was demonstrated. In such hearts a custom sequence implemented for in vivo DTI was evaluated and fixation induced alterations of derived diffusion metrics and tissue properties were assessed. Results enable comparison of prior and future ex vivo DTI studies and provide information on measurement parameters at 7T.
Translating developed methodology to preclinical studies of mouse hearts, ex vivo DTI provided highly sensitive surrogates for microstructural remodeling in response to subendocardial damage. In such cases echocardiography measurements revealed mild diastolic dysfunction and impaired longitudinal deformation, linking disease induced structural and functional alterations. Complementary DTI and echocardiography data also improved our understanding of structure-function interactions in cases of loss of contractile myofiber tracts, replacement fibrosis, and LV systolic failure.
Regarding the functional characterization of the myocardium at 7T, sequence protocols were expanded towards a dedicated 7T routine protocol, encompassing accurate cardiac planning and the assessment of cardiac function via cine imaging in humans.
This assessment requires segmentation of myocardial contours. For that, artificial intelligence (AI) was developed and trained, enabling rapid automatic generation of cardiac segmentation in clinical data. Using transfer learning, AI models were adapted to cine data acquired using the latest generation 7T system. Methodology for AI based segmentation was translated to cardiac pathology, where automatic segmentation of scar tissue, edema and healthy myocardium was achieved.
Developed radiofrequency hardware facilitates translational studies at 7T, providing controlled conditions for future method development towards cardiac 7T MRI in humans.
In this thesis the latest 7T technology, cardiac DTI, and AI were used to advance methods of ultrahigh field CMR. In the long run, obtained results contribute to diagnostic methods that may facilitate early detection and risk stratification in cardiovascular disease.
Patienten mit chronischen Lungenerkrankungen leiden unter schwerwiegender Symptomatik und bedürfen regelmäßiger Verlaufskontrollen der Therapie. Dabei sollte zum Schutz der Patienten sowohl auf kanzerogene, ionisierende Strahlung verzichtet als auch der Einsatz potenziell nebenwirkungsreicher Kontrastmittel vermieden werden. Die pulmonale Blutflussgeschwindigkeit im Parenchym stellt einen quantitativen, bildgebenden Biomarker dar, mit dessen Hilfe die Dynamik des Krankheitsgeschehens untersucht werden kann. In dieser Arbeit wurde eine neue Auswertungsmethode vorgestellt, die mit Hilfe kontrastmittelfreier Magnetresonanztomographie die Blutflussgeschwindigkeit im Lungenparenchym quantifizieren kann. Die auf diese Weise bestimmten Ergebnisse entsprechen den Angaben zur Lungenperfusion, wie sie in der Literatur zu finden sind.
