T₂ mapping of the heart with a double-inversion radial fast spin-echo method with indirect echo compensation

BACKGROUND: The abnormal signal intensity in cardiac T₂-weighted images is associated with various pathologies including myocardial edema. However, the assessment of pathologies based on signal intensity is affected by the acquisition parameters and the sensitivities of the receiver coils. T₂ mappin...
