Excerpt
Myocardial T1 mapping is emerging as a promising means to non-invasively discriminate between normal and diseased myocardium. We have shown that T1 measurements perfromed conservatively within the septal myocardium are reproducible and accurate with excellent discriminatory ability between normal and abnormal myocardium. Using this approach we aimed to determine age and gender related normal values at clinically used field strengths, 1.5 Tesla (T) and 3T, in a multi centre and single vendor study. …
