1. Review the techniques for in vivo myocardial T1 and T2 quantitative imaging. 2. Summarize literature supporting the clinical utility of quantitative myocardial T1 and T2 imaging. 3. Review of clinical cases illustrating the clinical benefit of integrating quantitative T1 and T2 imaging into cardiac MRI protocols.

1. The need for quantitative imaging to supplement qualitative MRI examination. 2. T1 parametric mapping a) History and Background, highlighting the pitfalls of quantitative approaches on conventional delayed enhancement imaging sequences. b) Physical principles c) Review different pulse sequences for quantitative T1 imaging. d) Summarize the literature supporting the clinical utility of quantitative T1 imaging at cardiac MRI. 3. T2 parametric mapping a) History and Background, highlighting the pitfalls of qualitative interpretation of T2 weighted dark blood imaging. b) Physical principles c) Review different approache for quantitative T2 imaging. d) Summarize the literature supporting the clinical utility of quantitative T2 imaging at cardiac MRI. 4. Case examples a) T2 quantitative imaging: myocarditis, vasculitis, infarction, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and heart transplant rejection. b) T1 quantitative imaging : amyloidosis, scleroderma, endomyocardial fibroelastosis, thrombus, and HCM.
