In this study, left ventricular tissue relaxometry and
dynamics measurements (T

mapping
and slice-followed CSPAMM myocardial tagging) were
combined to longitudinally and quantitatively
characterize the myocardium of heart transplant
recipients in comparison to the gold standard myocardial
biopsy. Initial results obtained in a small patient
cohort are presented and discussed.
