Post-contrast myocardial T1 (T1 myo, c) values have been shown to be sensitive to
myocardial fibrosis. Recent studies have shown differences in results obtained from T1 myo …

Aims To determine the optimal T1 mapping approach to assess myocardial fibrosis at 3T.
Methods and results T1 mapping was performed at 3T using the modified look-locker …

Background Diffuse myocardial fibrosis can be quantified by calculating extra-cellular
volume (ECV) from native and post-contrast T1 values using dedicated single bolus contrast …

Background Post-contrast T1 mapping by modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI)
sequence has been introduced as a promising means to assess an expansion of the extra …

Both post‐contrast myocardial T1 and extracellular volume (ECV) have been reported to be
associated with diffuse interstitial fibrosis. Recently, the cardiovascular magnetic resonance …

Background Quantitative myocardial T 1 mapping provides in-vivo tissue characterization for
assessment of cardiomyopathies. Pre and post-contrast T 1 maps can be used to calculate …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has made major inroads in the past 2 decades thanks
to its ability to characterize myocardial tissue noninvasively (1). It began with late gadolinium …

Endomyocardial biopsy for histological analysis is an important diagnostic tool in non-
ischaemic cardiomyopathy. However, endomyocardial biopsy is invasive and associated …

Background Diffuse myocardial fibrosis may be quantified with magnetic resonance (MR) by
calculating extracellular volume (ECV) fraction from native and post-contrast T1 values. The …

Abstract Cardiac Magnetic Resonance derived T1 mapping parameters are a non-invasive
method of estimating diffuse myocardial fibrosis. This study aims to to determine the native …
