Background—The concentration of gadopentetate dimeglumine in myocardium and blood
can be assessed from T1 measurements and can be used to calculate the extracellular …

Abstract Background Gadolinium (Gd) Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) by
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) has been proposed as a non-invasive method …

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping has been used to characterize
myocardial diffuse fibrosis. The aim of this study is to determine the reproducibility and …

Background The availability of a non-invasive test to detect and quantify interstitial and
replacement fibrosis would be a useful advance for evaluation of cardiac therapies that …

Purpose To pathologically verify the correlation between native T1 mapping, postcontrast T1
mapping, and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) and myocardial diffuse fibrosis, as …

Background Myocardial extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve) measures quantify
diffuse fibrosis not readily detectable by conventional late gadolinium (Gd) enhancement …

Background Myocardial fibrosis is a common hallmark of many diseases of the heart. Late
gadolinium enhanced MRI is a powerful tool to image replacement fibrosis after myocardial …

Background Diffuse myocardial fibrosis may be quantified with cardiovascular magnetic
resonance (CMR) by calculating extra-cellular volume (ECV) from native and post-contrast …

Background—Noncontrast magnetic resonance T1 mapping reflects a composite of both
intra-and extracellular signal. We hypothesized that noncontrast T1 mapping can …

Objective To detect diffuse myocardial fibrosis in different severity levels of left ventricular
diastolic dysfunction (DD) in spontaneous type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rhesus monkeys …
