Accuracy and reproducibility of semi-automated late gadolinium enhancement quantification techniques in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Conclusions:
FWHM segmentation provides superior reproducibility, however systematically underestimates total LGE volume compared to manual segmentation in patients with HCM. The STRM >3SD technique provides the greatest accuracy while retaining acceptable reproducibility and may therefore be a preferred approach for LGE quantification in this population.
