title: [Diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular disease using magnetic resonance tomography].
abstract: In our study, 12 patients with ventricular arrhythmias, but without any documented cardiac disease, and 10 healthy volunteers were investigated by spin echo magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) using a 0.5 Tesla magnet. Axial T1-weighted spin-echo sequences, as well as double angulated, multislice-multiphase sequences were acquired. Left- and right-ventricular volumes were then evaluated by outlining the endocardium in an end-systolic and an end-diastolic frame. The right-ventricular free wall and the right-ventricular outflow tract were investigated for myocardial thickness and intramural fat.
