Magnet Resonance Imaging to Evaluate of Dynamic T2 Preparation Puls by Patients With Shunt or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Magnet Resonance Imaging to Evaluate of Dynamic T2 Preparation Puls by Patients With Shunt or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
There is preliminary evidence that a dynamic T2 Preparations Puls sequence by cardiac magnet
 resonance imaging can differentiate between oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

 In adult patients with inborn heart defects this has not yet been researched.
 Therefore,patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunt, septal and atrio-septal shunt should be
 examined. Also, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease should be examined.

 The aim of this study is the validation of a novel magnet resonance sequence in terms of a
 distinction of oxygenated blood to deoxygenated blood in comparison to invasive method of
 measuring cardiac catheterization.
