Figure 1

Figure 1a shows representative images from each sequence at 60 ms (top) and at the minimum T2-prep time (bottom). Defects in the myocardium from the MLEV4 sequence are highlighted with red arrows. 1b) This graph shows the effect of the number of refocusing pulses on signal homogeneity. Increasing the number of pulses decreases the inhomogeneity. 1c) The adiabatic refocusing pulses in A4 provide improved image homogeneity compared with the composite pulses in the MLEV4 sequence.
