Comparison of T2 in 2 cardiac transplant patients. a) Localizing 3 chamber FISP image. b) Axial HASTE images with varying echo times (TE). White square represents septal ROI used to measure signal intensity (SI). c) Plot of SI vs. TE. T2 derived from fitting to curve to an exponential. Patient 1: CMR T2 = 53 ms (normal). Biopsy = no rejection. Patient 2: CMR T2 = 65 ms (elevated). Biopsy = ISHLT grade 2R rejection.
