Fig. 1From: T2STIR preparation for single-shot cardiovascular magnetic resonance myocardial edema imaginga The difference between a T2 preparation module and the T2 short tau inversion recovery (STIR) module in preparing the magnetization of the myocardial tissues for imaging. The T2STIR module tips the magnetization down to the –z axis after T2 preparation. b The amplitude and frequency modulation of the adiabatic T2STIR magnetization preparation moduleBack to article page
