Myocardial Scar Delineation Using Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Tractography

Myocardial Scar Delineation Using Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Tractography

BackgroundLate gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is the current standard for myocardial scar delineation. In this study, we introduce the tractographic propagation angle (PA), a metric of myofiber curvature (degrees/unit distance) derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and compare its use to LGE an...
