Synopsis

Keywords: Myocardium, CardiovascularDiffusion MRI delivers unique information about the heart without the use of external contrast agents, Because of B0 inhomogeneity within the thorax and short transverse relaxation durations, which cause substantial distortion and signal loss, it has proven technically problematic. DWI with Zoom imaging with 2D RF pulse (iZoom) could significantly minimize distortion, but it is still vulnerable to field inhomogeneity when it is big. iZoom with SENSE could reduce distortion and signal loss even further. An in vivo research on volunteers with various SENSE factors revealed that combining iZoom with SENSE considerably improves visual quality.
