ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Metabolic diseases can negatively alter epicardial fat accumulation and composition, which can be probed using quantitative cardiac chemical shift encoded (CSE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) by mapping proton-density fat fraction (PDFF). To obtain motion-resolved high-resolution PDFF maps, we proposed a free-running cardiac CSE-CMR framework at 3T. To employ faster bipolar readout gradients, a correction for gradient imperfections was added using the gradient impulse response function (GIRF) and evaluated on intermediate images and PDFF quantification.

METHODS:

Ten minutes free-running cardiac 3D radial CSE-CMR acquisitions were compared in vitro and in vivo at 3T. Monopolar and bipolar readout gradient schemes provided 8 echoes (TE1/ΔTE = 1.16/1.96 ms) and 13 echoes (TE1/ΔTE = 1.12/1.07 ms), respectively. Bipolar-gradient free-running cardiac fat and water images and PDFF maps were reconstructed with or without GIRF correction. PDFF values were evaluated in silico, in vitro on a fat/water phantom, and in vivo in 10 healthy volunteers and 3 diabetic patients.

RESULTS:

In monopolar mode, fat-water swaps were demonstrated in silico and confirmed in vitro. Using bipolar readout gradients, PDFF quantification was reliable and accurate with GIRF correction with a mean bias of 0.03% in silico and 0.36% in vitro while it suffered from artifacts without correction, leading to a PDFF bias of 4.9% in vitro and swaps in vivo. Using bipolar readout gradients, in vivo PDFF of epicardial adipose tissue was significantly lower compared to subcutaneous fat (80.4 ± 7.1% vs 92.5 ± 4.3%, P < 0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS:

Aiming for an accurate PDFF quantification, high-resolution free-running cardiac CSE-MRI imaging proved to benefit from bipolar echoes with k-space trajectory correction at 3T. This free-breathing acquisition framework enables to investigate epicardial adipose tissue PDFF in metabolic diseases.
