Effect of Gd‐DTPA‐BMA on blood and myocardial T₁ at 1.5T and 3T in humans

Abstract

T(1) is significantly longer for myocardium (but not blood) at 3T compared to 1.5T. The differences in T(1) due to field strength are reduced following contrast administration, which may be attributed to changes in DeltaR(1myo)/DeltaR(1blood) with field strength.
