Three-Dimensional Printing of Mitral Valve Models Using Echocardiographic Data: Does it Add to The Knowledge of Cardiology Fellow Physicians in Training? Open
Background: High fidelity three-dimensional Mitral valve models (3D MVM) printed from echocardiography are currently being used in preparation for surgical repair. We hypothesize that printed 3DMVM could have relevance to cardiologists in …

Measurement of Tibial Tuberosity-Trochlear Groove Distance in an Eastern Mediterranean Population: A Retrospective Single-Center Study Open
Purpose: The Tibial Tuberosity–Trochlear Groove (TT-TG) distance is a key parameter used to assess patients with patellar dislocation.
Different values are reported in different populations. Our purpose is to determine the TT-TG distanc…

Comparison of Respiratory-Triggered (RT) 3D cine steady-state free precession cardiac mri with standard 2D cine imaging and magnetic resonance angiography in Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Open
Background This is a pilot study to evaluate the performance of whole-heart isotropic RT-3D cine SSFP sequence as an efficient single solution for assessment of morphology and function in CHD by comparing it to: 1. Short axis (SA) 2D cine …

Clinical validation of free breathing respiratory triggered retrospectively cardiac gated cine balanced steady-state free precession cardiovascular magnetic resonance in sedated children Open
The free breathing RT-SSFP sequence allows diagnostic images in sedated children with significantly better edge definition when compared to MN-SSFP, without any penalty for total scan time.
