TI  - Reproducibility study of left ventricular measurements with breath-hold cine MRI 
      using a semiautomated volumetric image analysis program.
PG  - 467-72
AB  - The reproducibility of a semiautomated method of volumetric analysis allowing 
      estimates of left ventricular (LV) parameters in approximately 5 minutes of 
      analysis time is reported. Twenty normal volunteers underwent cine breath-hold 
      cardiac MRI on two occasions with two observers using this new semiautomated 
      method to estimate LV parameters. Reproducibility of this technique was 
      comparable to published data with a variability of less than approximately 10% 
      for all LV parameters calculated. Using this technique, the 95% confidence limits 
      for change for left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV) = +/-15 ml, left 
      ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV) = +/-8 ml, LV mass = +/-24 g, and left 
      ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) = +/-6%. This new method also compared 
      favorably to established manual methods. This new method permits estimation of LV 
      parameters with acceptable reproducibility in a time that may permit routine 
      quantitation of cardiac MR studies.
