[Abstract] Objective To explore the feasibility of high spatial resolution T2-weighted dark blood imaging sequence using artificial intelligence assisted compressed sensing (ACS HR-T2W-DB) technique in evaluating myocardial edema in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, compared with conventional T2W-DB sequence.Materials and Methods A total of 38 patients who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance examination in our hospital from August to December 2021 were prospectively enrolled. All patients underwent short axial conventional T2W-DB and ACS HR-T2W-DB sequences. Subjective score and objective quantitative parameters were used to evaluate the image quality of conventional T2W-DB and ACS HR-T2W-DB sequences, respectively. Likert score scale was used to evaluate the overall image quality, blood pool inhibition effect, right ventricular free wall, left ventricular free wall and interventricular septum visibility. Objective quantitative parameters included peak signal-to-noise ratio (pSNR) and myocardial blood pool contrast-noise ratio (myocardial-CNR), and 14 patients with regional myocardial edema were evaluated by CNR (edema-CNR).Results Compared with conventional T2W-DB sequence, the spatial resolution of ACS HR-T2W-DB sequence was doubled (conventional 256×163 vs. ACS 336×269). Compared to ACS HR-T2W-DB sequences, the image quality scores of right ventricular wall and left ventricular free wall in ACS HR-T2W-DB sequence were significantly higher than those in conventional T2W-DB sequence, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05), but there was no significant difference in overall image quality, blood pool suppression effect and interventricular septum visibility (P＞0.05). In the objective quantitative parameters of image quality, pSNR and edema-CNR based on ACS HR-T2W-DB sequence were significantly higher than those of conventional T2W-DB sequence, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05), but there was no significant difference in myocardial-CNR (P＞0.05).Conclusions Compared with conventional T2W-DB sequence, ACS HR-T2W-DB sequence provides higher spatial resolution, higher image quality, edema-CNR and better left ventricular free wall visibility without longer scanning time, which is promising to become a routine sequence for patients with suspected myocardial edema.
