Cardiac tagging in the rat using a DANTE sequence.
We demonstrate the application of a DANTE tagging sequence to in vivo imaging of the rat heart. This sequence generates narrow parallel tag lines in a short space of time and is combined with cardiac gating to image the heart wall at eight points throughout the cycle.
