Effect of surface phased array coils on T2 maps and T2W images; images acquired using anterior coils only. (A) The graphs show normalized T2 values from T2 Maps (top) and normalized intensities from T2W images (bottom), averaged for all the 14 subjects. Myocardial Segments: 1 = Anterior, 2 = Anteroseptal, 3 = Inferoseptal, 4 = Inferior, 5 = Inferolateral, 6 = Anterolateral. (B) Spatial variability in T2W images (squares) and T2 Maps (dots) acquired using only anterior coil elements expressed as coefficient of variation. The mean spatial variation was 27.7% for T2W STIR and 4.25% for T2 Maps.
