Synopsis
Myocardial T1-rho (T1ρ) mapping is a promising technique which reveals new insights about the macromolecular content of biological tissues. The idea that T1ρ mapping can be used to quantify myocardial fibrosis without contrast agent opens the door to new clinical capabilities. Yet, the tissue determinants driving T1ρ changes are still unclear, and the applicability of the technique to the broad spectrum of myocardial injuries remains uncharted territory. In the present study, we aim to identify clinical correlates of myocardial T1ρ and to examine how myocardial T1ρ values change under various clinical scenarios.
