PURPOSE: Na MRI. To evaluate the influence of different correction methods on the measured myocardial TSC. METHODS: inhomogeneity and partial volume (PV) effects were corrected. Relaxation times and TSC of ex vivo blood samples and calf muscle were determined. These values were used in the PV correction to estimate myocardial TSC, which was compared with the measured TSC of calf muscle. RESULTS: inhomogeneity (reduction of (3 ± 2)%) had negligible influences on TSC values. The resulting myocardial TSC was approximately 1.4-fold higher than the measured TSC of calf muscle tissue of the same healthy subjects ((20 ± 3) mM). CONCLUSION: inhomogeneity effects.
