"Methods include the disk summation technique (Simpson’s method), 3D data sets or a biplane area-length method from apical four-chamber and two-chamber views. The left atrial appendage is excluded from measurement 1."
"Widely-used postprocessing software solutions for cardiac MRI employ a combination of semi-automated feature recognition and manual contour correction based on the modified Simpson’s method using a stack of SFFP cine images in the short axis, horizontal long axis or transverse plane."
"Alternative methods include the employment of 3D modelling software or the biplane area-length method in the horizontal and vertical long axis that can be employed for measurement of the left atrial volume on standard SSFP cine images 2,4."
"Normal values are derived for SSFP cine sequences from the updated publication by Kawel-Boehm 2. Values above the normal indicate atrial dilatation."
"The recommended upper normal left atrial volume indexed for body surface area (BSA) is 34 ml/m2 for both women and men 1."
