Novel 3D joint mapping reveals improved myocardial tissue characterization in healthy individuals and a patient, suggesting advantages over traditional methods.

Key Points

This research aims to develop a 3D joint T1/T1ρ mapping sequence combined with water-fat imaging for better myocardial tissue characterization.
Developed a novel free-breathing 3D joint mapping sequence with Dixon encoding.
Acquired data using a 0.55-T low-field MR scanner with two-echo Dixon readout.
Used nonrigid respiratory motion-corrected iterative SENSE for image reconstruction.
Tested the proposed sequence in phantoms, healthy subjects, and one patient against conventional techniques.
Proposed 3D mapping showed good correlation with conventional 2D measurements in phantoms.
In healthy subjects, 3D mapping values demonstrated improved myocardial tissue characterization.
Promising results observed in a patient when compared to traditional late-gadolinium enhancement imaging.
