In vivo analysis shows a 5-minute T2 mapping sequence detects ischemic injury in piglets, suggesting clinical utility for young patients.

The 5-minute T2 mapping sequence effectively detects increased T2 values post-ischemic injury.
Twenty-four piglets were imaged using both a 5-minute and a 12-minute sequence to compare efficacy.
T2 mapping could improve detection of ischemic injuries in young children with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.
The technique's rapid capabilities may enable easier clinical application and monitoring of pediatric patients.

Johnson et al. (2025) studied this question.
