Native T1 and T2 mapping reference values in a South African population: Scanner-specific calibration on a 1.5 Tesla Siemens Aera system at Tygerberg Hospital
Background: Quantitative myocardial T1 and T2 mapping is integral to cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Absolute myocardial relaxation times vary across imaging platforms due to system-specific technical factors. Consequently, mapping reference ranges are not transferable across platforms and require scan...
