Pulse sequence diagram of the navigator gated free breathing cardiac M1M2 compensated diffusion-prepared TSE technique. The diffusion-prepared module and the segmented TSE readout (b) were placed in the quiescent period identified by cine (a). The diffusion-prepared module (c) utilized non-selective BIR-4 adiabatic refocusing pulses to address expected 3 T B1-inhomogeneity and a second order gradient moment nulling scheme (quadra-bipolar).
