Both post‐contrast myocardial T1 and extracellular volume (ECV) have been reported to be
associated with diffuse interstitial fibrosis. Recently, the cardiovascular magnetic resonance …

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

Two intertwined needs have promoted the development of T1 mapping in cardiac magnetic
resonance (CMR) during the past decade. The first need relates to the desire for greater …

Background Feature tracking (FT) has emerged as a promising method to quantify
myocardial strain using conventional cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Extracellular …

Background Cardiac T1 mapping is valuable for evaluating myocardial fibrosis, yet its
resolution and acquisition efficiency are limited, potentially obscuring visualization of small …

Cardiac MRI is considered the gold standard for quantification of myocardial volumes,
function, and mass [1]. A key strength of cardiac MRI compared with other imaging …

Background Diffuse myocardial interstitial fibrosis (DMIF) is a key factor for heart failure (HF)
in diabetic cardiomyopathy. MRI T1‐mapping technique can quantitatively evaluate DMIF …

Background Diffuse myocardial fibrosis is frequently observed in histologies of dilated
cardiomyopathy (DCM). T1-mapping techniques have the potential to measure fibrosis …

T 1 mapping of the heart has evolved into a valuable tool to evaluate myocardial tissue
properties, with or without contrast injection, including assessment of myocardial edema and …

Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the value of in vivo T2 measurements to
noninvasively quantify myocardial fibrosis in diabetic mice at 11.75 T. Diabetic …
