Measuring Transverse Relaxation in Myocardial Tissue with 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The goal of this work was to develop methods to overcome the practical difficulties of 3T human myocardial imaging and to determine reliable reference values for transverse relaxation in normal human myocardium. Nine healthy volunteers were investigated with three multi-echo, turbo spin-echo (TSE) m...
