Noninvasive imaging of cardiac fibrosis is important for early diagnosis and intervention in
chronic heart diseases. Here, we investigated whether noninvasive, contrast agent‐free MRI …

Purpose Recently, it was shown that a significantly higher T1ρ is found in compact
myocardial fibrosis after chronic myocardial infarction. In this study, we investigated the …

Fibrosis is a common feature of heart disease and is associated with adverse cardiac
remodeling and poor clinical outcome. Because of the lack of routine noninvasive patient …

Background Myocardial fibrosis is a common hallmark of many diseases of the heart. Late
gadolinium enhanced MRI is a powerful tool to image replacement fibrosis after myocardial …

Background Detection of cardiac fibrosis based on endogenous magnetic resonance (MR)
characteristics of the myocardium would yield a measurement that can provide quantitative …

Purpose To quantitatively evaluate the dynamic changes of extracellular volume (ECV) and
native T1 in hypertensive swine over time using histologic findings as standard of reference …

Myocardial fibrosis is a common endpoint in a variety of cardiac diseases and a major
independent predictor of adverse cardiac outcomes. Short of histopathologic analysis, which …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has been widely used to assess myocardial
perfusion and scar and is the non-invasive gold standard for identification of focal …

Purpose To develop a novel gadolinium‐free model‐based quantitative magnetization
transfer (qMT) technique to assess macromolecular changes associated with myocardial …
