Purpose
Cardiac pulsation increases the noise level in brain maps of the transverse relaxation rate R2*. Cardiac‐induced noise is challenging to mitigate during the acquisition of R2* mapping data because its characteristics are unknown. In this work, we aim to characterize cardiac‐induced noise in brain maps of the MRI parameter R2*.
Methods
We designed a sampling strategy to acquire multi‐echo...
