Myocardial native T1 and T1ρ maps and post-contrast T1 and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) maps acquired on a 1.5-T system in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Significantly higher T1ρ values were observed in DCM patients (T1ρ = 55.2 ± 2.7 ms) compared with heathy controls (T1ρ = 51.5 ± 1.2 ms, P = 0.0024). T1ρ values correlated with ECV. [56]
