Cardiovascular magnetic resonance provides insights into myocardial structure and function
noninvasively, with high diagnostic accuracy and without ionizing radiation. Myocardial …

Quantitative myocardial and blood T 1 have recently achieved clinical utility in numerous
pathologies, as they provide non-invasive tissue characterization with the potential to …

Background T1 mapping is a robust and highly reproducible application to quantify
myocardial relaxation of longitudinal magnetisation. Available T1 mapping methods are …

Myocardial fibrosis, seen in ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies, is associated with
adverse cardiac outcomes. Noninvasive imaging plays a key role in early identification and …

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the major cause of cardiac morbidity
and mortality worldwide, despite the advances in treatment with coronary revascularization …

On behalf of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM)
Quantitative MR Study Group, this article provides an overview of considerations for the …

Aims Profound left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy with diastolic dysfunction and heart failure is
the cardinal manifestation of heart remodelling in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previous …

Background Quantitative measurement of T1 in the myocardium may be used to detect both
focal and diffuse disease processes such as interstitial fibrosis or edema. A partial volume …

Aims To determine the bioequivalence of several T1 mapping sequences in myocardial
characterization of diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Methods and results We performed an intra …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is a well-established tool for the quantification of focal
fibrosis. With the introduction of T1 mapping, diffuse myocardial processes can be detected …
