Cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is increasingly used for non-invasive in vivo characterisation of cardiac microstructure. To help reconcile the variation in DTI metrics in the literature, we investigated the inter- and intra-site variation of DTI across twelve clinical scanners. Data were acquired at two time points, with a standardised isotropic phantom, acquisition, and post-processing pipeline. In water at 0°C, the coefficient of variation of mean diffusivity (MD) across sites was 1.9 ± 1.4% (mean ± SD), while the mean difference across two scans was (-0.010 ± 0.098) × 10-3 mm2/s (mean ± 1.96SD), indicating low bias and good reproducibility.
