β¦ Synopsis
To evaluate the potential clinical utility of T2 quantitative mapping for myocardial edema in acute disease pathology -myocarditis, myocardial infarction, Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy, and transplant rejection.
*p-value compared internally from basal segment to mid and apical segment. ** Normal represents cases that were suspected to have outcome, i.e. AMI, myocarditis, etc, but were by clinical assessment MRI, and cellular pathology determined not to have any disease. These cases T2 Mapping were compared to cases with in-group pathology.

Non-contrast T1-mapping using the novel ShMOLLI (Shortened Modified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery) sequence detects acute myocardial edema with high diagnostic accuracy.
Patients with acute myocarditis and healthy volunteers were studied to assess the ability of T2 mapping to detect myocardial edema. The T2 maps detected global and regional edema in patients. T2 mapping may be an alternative to STIR images for detecting myocardial edema in patients with acute myocar
