Purpose To use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at two field strengths to assess healthy
adults' regional myocardial noncontrast (native) T1 relaxation time distribution, and global …

Background Quantitative T1-mapping is rapidly becoming a clinical tool in cardiovascular
magnetic resonance (CMR) to objectively distinguish normal from diseased myocardium …

Background Myocardial native T1 and T2 mapping are promising techniques for quantitative
assessment of diffuse myocardial pathologies; however, due to conflicting data regarding …

T1 or longitudinal relaxation time is one of the very fundamental magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) time constants and a tissue characterizing parameter. Only during the last …

While an enormous number of studies have documented pathological alterations of the
myocardial native longitudinal relaxation time (T1) and the fraction of the extracellular …

Purpose To elucidate the impact of technical and intraindividual reproducibility on the
overall variability of myocardial T2 relaxation times. Materials and Methods Thirty healthy …

Purpose Myocardial effective relaxation time is commonly regarded as a surrogate for
myocardial tissue oxygenation. However, it is legitimate to assume that there are multiple …

Background T1 imaging based on pixel-wise quantification of longitudinal relaxation has the
potential to differentiate between normal and abnormal myocardium. The accuracy of T1 …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has grown over the past several decades into a
validated, noninvasive diagnostic imaging tool with a pivotal role in cardiac morphologic and …

Background No data are available about normal ranges for native T1 in human myocardium
using General Electric (GE) scanners. Purpose To establish normal ranges for myocardial …
