Diffusion tensor cardiovascular MR (DT‐CMR) using stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) with echo‐planar‐imaging (EPI) readouts is a low signal‐to‐noise‐ratio (SNR) technique and therefore typically has a low spatial resolution. Spiral trajectories are more efficient than EPI, and could increase the SNR. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of a novel STEAM spiral DT‐CMR sequence with an equivalent established EPI technique.
