Myocardial fibrosis (MF) is defined as excessive production and deposition of extra-cellular
matrix proteins that result in pathologic myocardial remodeling. Three types of MF have …

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a relatively common hereditable cardiomyopathy
that affects between 1: 200 to 1: 500 of the general population. The role of cardiovascular …

Background Myocardial T1‐rho (T1ρ) mapping is a promising method for identifying and
quantifying myocardial injuries without contrast agents, but its clinical use is hindered by the …

Purpose There is a need for high resolution non‐invasive imaging methods of physiologic
magnetic fields. The purpose of this work is to develop a MRI detection approach for non …

Background To facilitate the clinical use of cardiac T1ρ, it is important to understand the
impact of age and sex on T1ρ values of the myocardium. Purpose To investigate the impact …

Objectives We aimed to describe changes in parameters derived from myocardial T1ρ, T1,
and T2 mapping and assess whether incorporating T1ρ mapping improves the predictive …

Objectives To use T1ρ mapping to assess myocardial fibrosis and to provide a reference for
future clinical application, it is necessary to understand the factors influencing T1ρ values …

For the quantification of rotating frame relaxation times, the T2ρ relaxation pathway plays an
essential role. Nevertheless, T2ρ imaging has been studied only to a small extent compared …

Abstract Purpose of the Review Many novel cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMR)
techniques have been developed for diagnosis, risk stratification, and monitoring of …

Purpose: To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of T1ρ dispersion and Gd-EOB-
DTPAenhanced T1mapping in the identification of early liver fibrosis (LF) and non-alcoholic …
