Susceptibility tensor imaging may be used to probe the
microstructure and fiber architecture of the myocardium
in 3D. However, it currently is liable to image
artifacts arising from imperfect background phase
removal. Conjoint relaxation and susceptibility tensor
imaging (CRSTI) is a useful step towards the robust
estimation of tensor-valued tissue susceptibility and
facilitates the application of susceptibility-based
tractography to the whole heart for the first time. In
addition to the myocardium, CRSTI may potentially aid in
studying the source(s) of susceptibility contrast and
anisotropy in other magnetically anisotropic tissues.
