Tissue Characterization*

* The Tissue Characterization Module is not available in the USA since the use of contrast agents for Cardiac MR procedures is not FDA–approved. A non–diagnostic version of cmr42, intended for research purposes only, is available on request.


Tissue Characterization: Infarct with greyzone (left), edema (middel); polar maps with values for relative enhancement; 3D model displaying the infarct zone

Four adjustable viewer frames for various tissue characteristics (scar, edema and inflammation)

Assessment of Late Gd Enhancement


    Color–coded display of tissue characteristics
  • Auto-threshold mode (Otsu)
  • One–click auto–identification of signal intensity abnormalities such as late enhancement or edema
  • Calculation of absolute and relative (% LV) LGE mass
  • "No–reflow" semi-automatically added to infarct volume
  • Calculation of myocardial salvage
  • NEW Infarct core and "grey zone" quantification
  • Contour syncing between different sequences
  • Options to include or exclude tissue from analysis
  • Several threshold methods
  • NEW Thresholds can be individually defined for every slice
  • NEW Threshold-based, color–coded 4D mesh model display of tissue characteristics
  • Polar map of enhanced area and transmurality.

Early Gadolinium Enhancement

  • Contours are automatically forwarded to the corresponding baseline/ post–contrast image
  • Calculation and auto–display of myocardial early enhancement and T2 signal intensity ratio (quantitative Lake Louise Criteria for myocarditis)
  • Color map of T2 signal intensity ratio
