A member asked:
Are there different values between cardiac mri's? because of the different techniques? i had a ge fiesta bssfp scan are those values higher or lower?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are all hi: I've never seen a series in which the incidence of some calcification wasn't over 75%. With values that high, the ability to tell anything is not very good and the difference between 75% and 90% isn't all that significiant. They overdiagnose.

I had a cardiac MRI bSSFP (GE electric) technique but my values of the ventricles are borderline high could this be due to the technique? so not SSFP
So why if you read study's from cardiac MRI's the normal values fluctuate so much? For instance one study said normal rv-edv:150ml average and another study said average 260ml. Has this something to do with imaging techniques or with calculations?
Cardiologist believes I may have Cardiac Syndrome X, wants to do MRI. What will they see from this scan?
