## Background Inflammation plays a pivotal role in all stages of atherosclerosis. Since edema is known to be an integral part of inflammation, a noninvasive technique that can identify edema in the coronary artery wall may provide unique information regarding plaque activity. In this study, we aime
## Abstract ## Purpose: To compare T2‐weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with AASPIR (asymmetric adiabatic spectral inversion recovery) and STIR (short T1 inversion recovery) for myocardial signal intensity, image quality, and fat suppression. ## Materials and Methods: Fort
Non-contrast T1-mapping using the novel ShMOLLI (Shortened Modified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery) sequence detects acute myocardial edema with high diagnostic accuracy.
