Purpose: The aim of the current study was to show that spatial resolution could be improved without loss of diagnostic accuracy if a 3D-IR-turboFLASH sequence was used instead of a 2D segmented IR-turbo-FLASH at 3.0 Tesla. Materials and Methods: Ten patients with myocardial infarction were examined on a 3.0 T MR system (Siemens Trio a Tim system, Erlangen, Germany). Imaging delayed contrast enhancement was started 10 minutes after administration of contrast material. A 3 dimensional IR-turboFLASH sequence Voxel size 2.0×1.4×3.0mm) was compared with a segmented 2D IR turboFLASH sequence (Voxel size 2.1×1.4×8.0mm)…
