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
