Novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques for Quantitative Cardiac Parametric Mapping
The overall goal of this project is to evaluate the clinical potential of fast quantitative
myocardial tissue characterization using recently emerged Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(CMR) techniques to aid the diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of patients with myocardial
diseases, such as ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and myocarditis.
