Cardiac q‐space trajectory imaging by motion‐compensated tensor‐valued diffusion encoding in human heart in vivo

Abstract

We demonstrated the first tensor-valued diffusion encoding and QTI analysis in the heart in vivo, along with first measurements of myocardial μFA, MKi, MKa, and C_c . The methodology is technically feasible and provides promising novel biomarkers for myocardial tissue characterization.
