Exemplary T2-maps acquired with the three different T2-mapping sequences. Set of T2 maps in a midventricular slice of the same healthy volunteer, acquired with the three different sequences T2prep (a), GraSE (b) and MESE (c). The black regions of interest indicate those used for finale analysis of myocardial T2 in order to exclude partial volume artifacts at the endo- and epicardial borders of the left ventricle
