To improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in cardiac QSM (cQSM), we introduce here 3D acquisition that is more SNR efficient than previous 2D acquisition. Respiratory motion artifacts during the long 3D acquisition are compensated using navigator gating. We also investigated potential SNR gain at 3T over previous 1.5T. Our initial results seem to suggest possible issues at 3T that prevent the realization of potential cQSM improvement at from 1.5T to 3T in terms of SNR and contrast.
