Optimizing ventricular scar characterization in late-gadolinium enhancement cardiac MRI: Impact of thresholding techniques in magnitude and phase-sensitive reconstructed images
This study demonstrates significant differences in myocardial scar metrics based on reconstruction and thresholding techniques. PSIR consistently provided robust scar characterization across methods, emphasizing its clinical potential to standardize LGE-cardiac magnetic resonance workflows and improve ventricular arrhythmia risk stratification.
