The concept of diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging emerged in the mid-1980s,
together with the first images of water diffusion in the human brain, as a way to probe tissue …

Myocardial edema occurs in a large number of myocardial pathologies particularly during
ischemia–reperfusion, and may contribute to cell dysfunction and death occurring in these …

Purpose Myocardial microstructure has been challenging to probe in vivo. Spin echo–based
diffusion‐weighted sequences allow for single‐shot acquisitions but are highly sensitive to …

The aim of this study was to implement a quantitative in vivo cardiac diffusion tensor imaging
(DTI) technique that was robust, reproducible, and feasible to perform in patients with …

Purpose To evaluate convex optimized diffusion encoding (CODE) gradient waveforms for
minimum echo time and bulk motion–compensated diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has now been used clinically for more than 30 years.
Today, MRI serves as the primary diagnostic modality for many clinical problems. In this …

Purpose In this study, we proposed an efficient free‐breathing strategy for rapid and
improved cardiac diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) acquisition using a single‐shot spin …

The complex and highly organized structural arrangement of some five billion
cardiomyocytes directs the coordinated electrical activity and mechanical contraction of the …

Background Despite the established role of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)
cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in characterizing chronic myocardial infarction …

Purpose To investigate the influence of the diffusion weighting on in vivo cardiac diffusion
tensor imaging (cDTI) and obtain optimal parameters. Methods Ten subjects were scanned …
