MRI has become an important tool to noninvasively assess global and regional cardiac function, infarct size, or myocardial blood flow in surgically or genetically modified mouse models of human heart disease. Constraints on scan time due to sensitivity to general anesthesia in hemodynamically compro
## Abstract Balanced steady‐state free precession (SSFP) techniques provide excellent contrast between myocardium and blood at a high signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR). Hence, SSFP imaging has become the method of choice for assessing cardiac function at 1.5T. The expected improvement in SNR at higher fi
## Abstract ## Purpose To quantify changes in signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR), contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR), specific absorption rate (SAR), RF power deposition, and imaging time in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with and without the application of parallel imaging at 1.5 T and 3.0 T. ## Materia
## Abstract ## Purpose To minimize the acoustic sound pressure levels of single‐shot echo planar imaging (EPI) acquisitions on high magnetic field MRI scanners. ## Materials and Methods The resonance frequencies of gradient coil vibrations, which depend on the coil length and the elastic propert
## Abstract Real‐time cardiac and coronary MRI at 1.5T is relatively “signal starved” and the 3T platform is attractive for its immediate factor of two increase in magnetization. Cardiac imaging at 3T, however, is both subtly and significantly different from imaging at 1.5T because of increased sus
