Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The results of the additional MR acquisition methods may be evaluated for image quality, may be compared with those of conventional MR techniques, and/or results in clinical patients may be compared with the results (previously) obtained in healthy volunteers. The additional MR acquisition methods could be assessed for their incremental value, aspects for further optimization could be identified and these could be incorporated in the continuing process of development. Final step in this translation project is potential publication of the results obtained by application of the additional MR protocols in clinical patients. During this project more and better MR techniques and analysis tools will become available for research purposes and patient care. Main study parameters/endpoints will be described for each pilot study in an addendum. - Addendum 01 15/12/2015: myocardial triglyceride accumulation, native T1 relaxation times, ECV quantification, fibrosis/fat ratio. - Addendum 02 06/11/2017: LIF score, fat fraction, T1 times, T2 times. | — |
