Purpose To develop a novel gadolinium‐free model‐based quantitative magnetization
transfer (qMT) technique to assess macromolecular changes associated with myocardial …

Intro: Cardiac fibrosis identified by late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) cardiac MRI (CMR) is
prognostic of adverse cardiac events, but is contraindicated in high-risk patients with …

We have developed a contrast-free free-breathing motion corrected (100% scan efficiency)
3D whole heart imaging technique for measurement of myocardial magnetization transfer …

The development of myocardial fibrosis significantly heightens the risk of sudden cardiac
death. Late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) MRI has become the reference standard for …

Noninvasive imaging of cardiac fibrosis is important for early diagnosis and intervention in
chronic heart diseases. Here, we investigated whether noninvasive, contrast agent‐free MRI …

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

The development of late gadolinium enhancement imaging (LGE) in the late 1990s
revolutionized the clinical application of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in …

Purpose Safe, sensitive, and non-invasive imaging methods to assess the presence, extent,
and turnover of myocardial fibrosis are needed for early stratification of risk in patients who …

Aim Myocardial fibrosis is fundamental in the pathogenesis of heart failure. Late gadolinium
enhancement (LGE) with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is commonly …

Purpose Recently, it was shown that a significantly higher T1ρ is found in compact
myocardial fibrosis after chronic myocardial infarction. In this study, we investigated the …
