Myocardial hemorrhage can be assessed implementing T2 and T2\* mapping techniques, however robust myocardial T2 and T2\* mapping is challenging at 3T. The goal of this study was to test T2 and T2\* myocardial mapping techniques at 3T, with potential improvement in image quality on a system employing

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
We applied T2 mapping in 72 volunteers compared to 15 patients with myocardial edema. T2 of myocardial edema was 70 ms, whereas normal myocardium had a T2 of 55ms. However, female volunteers showed a wider range of myocardial T2 with overlap into values considered abnormal.
To assess the ability of ShMOLLI T1-mapping in detecting acute myocardial injury in patients with chest pain, positive troponins and non-obstructive coronary arteries.
