Synopsis

We developed a novel method (RavFa-T2) for T2 quantification of myocardium using transient steady-state free precession (SSFP) with a variable flip angle scheme. RavFa-T2 was systematically analyzed based on a phantom and a two-center patient study. We show that RavFa-T2 yields accurate T2 estimates for the myocardium compared to the state-of-the-art method T2-Prep and reduces scan time to ≤4 seconds.
