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

A key advantage of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging over other cardiac imaging
modalities is the ability to perform detailed tissue characterization. CMR techniques continue …

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

Background Quantitative measurements in the myocardium may be used to detect both focal
and diffuse disease processes that result in an elevation of T1 and/or extracellular volume …

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

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance offers noninvasive myocardial tissue characterization
as a key unique strength over other imaging techniques. In particular T1, a tissue property …

Abstract Purpose of Review Parametric mapping represents a significant innovation in
cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) tissue characterisation, allowing the …

The major advantage of T1 mapping techniques lies in the quantitative assessment of the
tissue composition on a voxel by voxel basis. Both native and postcontrast T1 mapping …

Mapping of the longitudinal relaxation time (T 1) and extracellular volume (ECV) offers a
means of identifying pathological changes in myocardial tissue, including diffuse changes …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is considered the gold standard imaging
modality for myocardial tissue characterization. Elevated transverse relaxation time (T2) is …
