7T, 3D, whole heart, high resolution, diffusion tensor data sets with 1.3mm isotropic voxels, unachievable in human in-vivo scans, were acquired for 8 ex-vivo pig hearts using a Stejskal-Tanner sequence with varying parallel imaging factors. ADC, FA, helix angle and secondary eigenvector angle values were analyzed and compared to a reference set of 26 ex-vivo hearts measured with the same protocol at 3T. Purpose of this study was quality assessment in DTI of the ex-vivo porcine heart at 7T. The proof of principle data acquired allows future optimization of acquisition approaches and helps translating the method to an in-vivo application.
