✦ Synopsis

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.

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
