## Abstract Assessment of lung effective transverse relaxation time (__T__~2~\*) may play an important role in the detection of structural and functional changes caused by lung diseases such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. While __T__~2~\* measurements have been conducted in both animals and h
## Abstract The purpose of the study was to evaluate the performance of steady‐state free precession (SSFP)‐tagging at 1.5T and 3T and to define the ideal settings with respect to optimized tag contrast throughout the cardiac cycle for both field strengths. To identify optimal imaging parameters da
## 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__
## Abstract ## Purpose To compare T~1~ values of blood and myocardium at 1.5T and 3T before and after administration of Gd‐DTPA‐BMA in normal volunteers, and to evaluate the distribution of contrast media between myocardium and blood during steady state. ## Materials and Methods Ten normal subje
