Cardiac MRI provides a comprehensive structure-function evaluation of the heart with increasingly strong evidence of its ability to detect acute cardiac allograft rejection following heart transplant. In this large cohort of transplant recipients, quantitative T2 and ECV were significantly elevated during episodes of biopsy-proven rejection compared to baseline.
