Summary of mean and standard deviation of T2* (in ms) at end-diastole and at end-systole.

Mean T2* (in ms) averaged over all subjects for each cardiac segment of a mid-ventricular short axis derived from single cardiac phase MS and from MB CINE acquisitions at end-diastole and at end-systole. T2* values obtained for both approaches show a fair agreement. The statistical analysis showed no significant difference between T2* derived from MS and T2* deduced from MB CINE acquisitions.
