Abstract
Summary Reproducible and accurate T2 measurements are required for the characterization of myocardial tissue, e. g. to distinguish healthy, scar and edematous myocardium. It is the objective of this study to investigate the impact of the fitting algorithm applied for the T2 quantification from data derived from a single-breathhold T2-prepared steady-state free precession (T2p-SSFP) imaging technique. Background In direct comparison to multi spin echo technique, superior performance of T2p-SSFP-based T2 quantification has been reported. In spite of availability of a variety of quantification algorithms, the use of monoexponential model is still the standard for fitting the T2 decay curve. Methods
