The cardiac T2-weighted dark-blood turbo spin-echo (TSE) sequence based on double inversion-recovery (DIR) is subject to motion artifacts due to mismatching of slices from the dark-blood preparation and the TSE readout. Here we propose reverse double inversion-recovery (RDIR), which performs the slice-selective inversion of the DIR preparation in the same cardiac phase as the TSE readout to minimize the slice mismatching. RDIR was evaluated in healthy subjects and patients. Results show that RDIR-TSE achieved a significantly improved image quality in the right ventricle and an improved image quality in the left ventricle compared to the standard DIR-TSE.
