Figure 6From: Myocardial T2* mapping: influence of noise on accuracy and precision Examples of in -vivo short axis view T2* and SD maps. The top row shows an example of a good quality breath-hold acquisition while the bottom row shows a poor quality case, which was contaminated by strong motion related ghosting artifacts. Ghosting artifacts in the T2* maps resulted in an increase in the apparent SD (displayed between 0–10 ms). The third column shows the T2* maps in which unreliable points with a high SD were masked. The SD map provides quality control.Back to article page
