7T cardiac MRI is an emerging technique with the potential to increase the spatial resolution and functional informativity of the cardiac images. T2*-quantification becomes a more sensitive MRI method at 7T compared to the lower B0-fields and may provide valuable information on cardiac tissue remodeling. However, in practice, the value of T2* at 7T as a marker of tissue alterations can be diminished by the suboptimal B0-shimming and problems of acquisition and analysis. We present the results of the reproducibility and quality assurance study with 10 healthy volunteers for the optimization of T2*-measurement protocol for a future clinical application.
