Cardiac T2* mapping is a noninvasive MRI method that is used to identify myocardial iron
accumulation in several iron storage diseases such as hereditary hemochromatosis, sickle …

Introduction Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) at ultrahigh field (UHF) offers the potential
of high resolution and fast image acquisition. Both technical and physiological challenges …

UTE (Ultrashort Echo Time) and ZTE (Zero Echo Time) sequences have been developed to
detect short T2 relaxation signals coming from regions that are unable to be detected by …

Objective To examine the feasibility of human cardiac MR (CMR) at 14.0 T using high-
density radiofrequency (RF) dipole transceiver arrays in conjunction with static and dynamic …

Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) related myocardial vascular remodelling
may lead to the reduction of myocardial blood supply and a subsequent progressive loss of …

Background The diagnostic utility of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is limited
during the early stages of myocarditis. This study examined whether ferumoxytol-enhanced …

Purpose The characteristic MRI features of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions make it
conceptually appealing to pursue parametric mapping techniques that support simultaneous …

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a robust and reproducible analysis
method that has become the gold standard for cardiac analysis in clinical care. This thesis …

Hereditary hemochromatosis, sickle cell disease, and β-thalassemia major are common
blood diseases with a worldwide spread [1–7]. Survival of the patients relies on regular …

A key step in translational cardiovascular research is the use of large animal models to
better understand normal and abnormal physiology, to test drugs or interventions, or to …
