Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a high signal-to-noise ratio, high spatial and
temporal resolutions, as well as a delayed-enhancement sequence and is therefore …

Background The aim of the study was to test the reproducibility and variability of myocardial
T2 mapping in relation to sequence type and spatial orientation in a large group of healthy …

Background T2w-CMR is used widely to assess myocardial edema. Quantitative T1-
mapping is also sensitive to changes in free water content. We hypothesized that T1 …

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

Objectives: This study sought to establish an accurate and reproducible T2-mapping cardiac
magnetic resonance (CMR) methodology at 3 T and to evaluate it in healthy volunteers and …

Abstract Background T2-Weighted (T2W) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pulse
sequences have been used to detect edema in patients with acute myocardial infarction and …

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 …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is widely established, free of
radioactive material or ionizing radiation, and the accepted noninvasive gold standard for …

Background The purpose of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic value of T2-
mapping in acute myocarditis (ACM) and to define cut-off values for edema detection …

Background Several T2-mapping sequences have been recently proposed to quantify
myocardial edema by providing T2 relaxation time values. However, no T2-mapping …
