Cardiac T2-mapping using a fast gradient echo spin echo sequence - first in vitro and in vivo experience

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was the evaluation of a fast Gradient Spin Echo Technique (GraSE) for cardiac T2-mapping, combining a robust estimation of T2 relaxation times with short acquisition times. The sequence was compared against two previously introduced T2-mapping techniques in a phantom and in vivo. METHODS: Phantom experiments were performed at 1.5 T using a commercially available cylindrical gel...
