Fig. 1a–dFrom: Magnetic resonance assessment of left ventricular volumes and mass using a single-breath-hold 3D k-t BLAST cine b-SSFP in comparison with multiple-breath-hold 2D cine b-SSFPExamples of 2D and 3D sequences. The figure shows the same patient studied with the two different sequences. In a and b the 2D- and 3D-sequences are displayed in the ARGUS (Siemens, Germany) platform before the quantitative assessment. In c and d, the 2D and 3D sequence are displayed during the contour detection in the end-diastolic phase, respectivelyBack to article page
