Keywords: Myocardium, VisualizationPerforming a cardiac MRI in the presence of active cardiac implants remains a challenge due to the extensive artifact burden caused by the implant. Sequence solutions established at 1.5 T have yet to be transferred to a clinical use at 3T. In this work, we use phantom and volunteer measurements in order to establish an adapted 3T protocol for CINE with TFE and wideband LGE-PSIR sequences that sufficiently suppress image artifacts caused by active implants. The first clinical data show the feasibility of this protocol and its ability to detect scar tissue in patients with implanted ICD.
