Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a higher magnetic field strength (3T) on signal parameters of non-accelerated and accelerated CINE SSFP and its volumetric accuracy compared to 1.5T field strength. Methods: 10 individuals including 9 patients with history of myocardial infarction and one healthy volunteer were enrolled to the study (age 28–63; 49 years). All individuals underwent CINE imaging at 1.5T and 3T, both scanners equipped with 32 independent receiver channels and an equivalent array-coil matrix with a selection of 12 coil-elements. Data sampling was performed in short axis o…
