Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging has become the gold standard for evaluating
myocardial function, volumes, and scarring. Additionally, cardiovascular magnetic …

Diffusion MRI provides unique information on the structure, organization, and integrity of the
myocardium without the need for exogenous contrast agents. Diffusion MRI in the heart …

Background—Accurate knowledge of the human atrial fibrous structure is paramount in
understanding the mechanisms of atrial electric function in health and disease. Thus far …

BACKGROUND: In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), myocyte disarray and
microvascular disease (MVD) have been implicated in adverse events, and recent evidence …

Purpose To present a novel MR pulse sequence and modeling algorithm to quantify the
water exchange rate (kw) across the blood–brain barrier (BBB) without contrast, and to …

Purpose Myocardial microstructure has been challenging to probe in vivo. Spin echo–based
diffusion‐weighted sequences allow for single‐shot acquisitions but are highly sensitive to …

Purpose To evaluate convex optimized diffusion encoding (CODE) gradient waveforms for
minimum echo time and bulk motion–compensated diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) …

Purpose To develop a simultaneous T1, T2, and ADC map** method that provides co‐
registered, distortion‐free images and enables multiparametric quantification of 3D brain …

Purpose To compare signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) efficiency and diffusion tensor metrics of
cardiac diffusion tensor map** using acceleration‐compensated spin‐echo (SE) and …

Purpose In this work we present a dual-phase diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technique that
incorporates a correction scheme for the cardiac material strain, based on 3D myocardial …
