Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) may be influenced by
pathologic conditions due to changes in myocardial water content. We aimed to validate the …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of T1 mapping at rest and
during adenosine stress as a novel method for ischemia detection without the use of …

To demonstrate the potential for differentiating normal and diseased myocardium without
Gadolinium using rest and stress T1-mapping. Patients undergoing 1.5 T magnetic …

Purpose To assess the efficacy of cardiac MRI stress T1 mapping in detecting ischemic and
infarcted myocardium in a miniature-swine model, using pathologic findings as the reference …

Background Myocardial native T1 and T2 relaxation time mapping are sensitive to
pathological increase of myocardial water content (eg myocardial edema). However, the …

Caffeine intake before adenosine stress myocardial perfusion imaging may cause false
negative findings. We hypothesized that the antagonistic effect of caffeine can be measured …

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is an indispensable part of the diagnostic
algorithm in cardiology. CMR has become a gold standard in various disorders; moreover, it …

Background T2 mapping is a valuable technique in cardiac MR imaging that offers insights
into the microstructural characteristics of myocardial tissue. However, it was shown that …

Background Alterations in native myocardial T1 under vasodilation stress (“T1 reactivity”)
were recently proposed as a non-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) …

Objectives To use T1ρ mapping to assess myocardial fibrosis and to provide a reference for
future clinical application, it is necessary to understand the factors influencing T1ρ values …
