Clinical translation of cardiac diffusion tensor MRI has been challenging because of the sensitivity to bulk motion and thus, low success rates of scans. Current techniques require either high gradient systems (>40 mT/m) or excess breath holding ( >10 breath holds / slice) to acquire motion free cardiac DT-MRI. We propose a cardiac DT-MRI technique optimized for clinical translation and aimed at achieving high success rates in subjects with high and variable heart rate and high bold-to-mass index under free breathing conditions. Results in subjects with high BMI and variable HR yielded success rates > 90%.
