Why the study?
Does high-resolution 3D T2-mapping improve the detection of acute cellular rejection compared to standard 2D T2-mapping in heart transplantation recipients?
Does high-resolution 3D T2-mapping improve the detection of acute cellular rejection compared to standard 2D T2-mapping in heart transplantation recipients?
High-resolution 3D T2-mapping provides equivalent segmental analysis to standard 2D mapping but offers superior spatial resolution for detecting focal myocardial edema associated with mild acute cellular rejection.

Pilot data support 3D T2-mapping for ACR detection; leaves open its accuracy versus biopsy before any practice change.
