QSM has evolved into the standard method for iron imaging. However, obtaining cardiac QSM for IMH evaluation is difficult due to well-known technical challenges. Here, we developed a motion-robust 3D multi-echo GRE technique and combined them with a high-dynamic-range QSM algorithm to derive reliable QSM maps in IMH hearts. We tested and validated it in phantom, ex-vivo, and in-vivo IMH hearts in animal models. We demonstrated that the proposed method could accurately detect IMH and reliably quantify iron concentration with a free-breathing scan under 6 minutes.
