- Abstract
Post-contrast delayed-enhancement MRI helps to show the extent of myocardial infarction (MI), as well as allowing the morphometric analysis of the heart structure, e.g., the left ventricular volume (LVV). Here the author showed how Bayesian implementation of statistical inference can benefit investigators reaching clinically sound conclusion, by examining an example case of the differentiation between the LVV in MI cases and in normal controls. Sixty-seven MI patients and thirty-three controls from the Evaluation of Myocardial Infarction from Delayed-Enhancement Cardiac MRI dataset challenge were used. These were acquired at the University Hospital of Dijon (France). A cardiologist with 10 years of experience in cardiology and MRI and a biophysicist with 20 years of experience of cardiovascular MRI supervised the acquisition and annotated the images. ITK-Snap was used to extract the LVV and Bayesian inference were used to investigate the data. Results. Patients with MI were younger than the controls (58.3 11.5 vs. 66.5 12.9 years; BF10 = 17.9). With age taken into consideration, the patients showed larger LVV relative to the controls (128.1 46.3 vs. 83.4 24.4 cm3; post-hoc BF10 = 12663.8). Using Bayesian approach, we can conclude decisively that there is volumetric difference or remodeling in individuals with MI.
