The complex microstructure of the myocardium is pivotal
for cardiac function and can provide important
information about the underlying (bio)physical
principles and (patho)physiological mechanisms. Probing
human myocardial fiber structure in vivo has been
described, but remains challenging due to cardiac and
respiratory motion. Susceptibility based MRI provides
excellent contrast which can be used to investigate
tissue microstructure and track fibers in the brain.
Recognizing this opportunity the work explores the
applicability of susceptibility weighted MRI for probing
human myocardial microstructure in vivo at 7.0 T.
