Magnetic resonance images were obtained from 32 patients with acute myocardial infarction, using a four-echo technique (echo time (TE) = 30, 60, 90, and 120 ms) pregadolinium(Gd)-DTPA injection and a TE = 30 ms sequence pre- and post-Gd-DTPA. Intensity ratios of infarcted and normal myocardium were

## Abstract This study demonstrates the feasibility of applying free‐breathing, cardiac‐gated, susceptibility‐weighted fast spin‐echo imaging together with black blood preparation and navigator‐gated respiratory motion compensation for anatomically accurate __T__ mapping of the heart. First, __T__
At a given field strength tissues present with specific T 1values. Reference values for normal unenhanced myocardium have been established. We hypothesize, that infarcted myocardial tissue can be delineated from normal myocardium by means of T 1 -maps in unenhanced and contrast-enhanced scans.
