## Abstract ## Purpose To compare T~1~ values of blood and myocardium at 1.5T and 3T before and after administration of GdβDTPAβBMA in normal volunteers, and to evaluate the distribution of contrast media between myocardium and blood during steady state. ## Materials and Methods Ten normal subje

## Abstract The purpose of the study was to evaluate the performance of steadyβstate free precession (SSFP)βtagging 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 ## Purpose To evaluate the impact of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) imaging at 1.5T and 3.0T on image quality. ## Materials and Methods Fourteen volunteers were examined at both 1.5T and 3.0T using MRCP imaging performed with a breathβheld twoβdimensional (2D) hal
## Abstract ## Purpose To measure T~1~ and T~2~ relaxation times of metabolites in glioma patients at 3T and to investigate how these values influence the observed metabolite levels. ## Materials and Methods A total of 23 patients with gliomas and 10 volunteers were studied with singleβvoxel two
