Developing a medical device-grade T2 phantom optimized for myocardial T2 mapping by cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Abstract Introduction A long T2 relaxation time can reflect oedema, and myocardial inflammation when combined with increased plasma troponin levels. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T2 mapping therefore has potential to provide a key diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. However, T2 varies by...
