Multiparametric myocardial characterization with T1, T2, and extracellular volume (ECV)
promises to play a useful role in a variety of clinical settings. Diffuse myocardial processes …

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging has witnessed a transformative shift with the
integration of parametric mapping techniques, such as T1 and T2 mapping and extracellular …

T1 mapping by cardiovascular magnetic resonance is a rapidly evolving method for the
quantitative assessment of tissue characteristics in cardiac disease. The myocardial T1 time …

Many disease processes alter the local molecular environment of the myocardium, and,
consequently, the longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) relaxation times can change. While …

Rapid innovations in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) now permit the routine
acquisition of quantitative measures of myocardial and blood T1 which are key tissue …

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) is a versatile diagnostic tool. One of its main
advantages is the possibility of tissue characterization. T1-weighted images for scar and T2 …

T1 mapping using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) introduces novel techniques
for myocardial tissue characterization to detect and quantify disease processes occurring at …

Background T1 Mapping has emerged as a new marker to quantify myocardial extracellular
volume (ECV), which is typically increased in the setting of diffuse fibrosis or infiltrative heart …

Heart failure (HF) is a major and growing cause of morbidity and mortality. Despite initial
successes, there have been few recent therapeutic advances. A better understanding of HF …
