A member asked:
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

Ask your doctor: you are 23 years old and probably healthy so be suspicious of borderline findings. The MRI is a screening test and has to be interpreted in the light of other tests and your exercise tolerance and the initial indication for doing these very expensive tests. You need to address this to your doctor who has the whole picture.

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?
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?
