A novel pulse sequence scheme is presented that allows the measurement and mapping of myocardial T1 in vivo on a 1.5 Tesla MR system within a single breath-hold. Two major modifications of conventional Look-Locker (LL) imaging are introduced: 1) selective data acquisition, and 2) merging of data fro
T1 relaxation-time mapping allows direct myocardial signal quantification and therefore enables true quantitative characterisation of myocardial tissue heterogeneity. Differences between healthy myocardium and scarred tissues can be reliably distinguished from the R1 values derived from pre-contrast
## Abstract ## Purpose To optimize and validate a fully‐integrated version of modified Look‐Locker inversion‐recovery (MOLLI) for clinical single‐breathhold cardiac T1 mapping. ## Materials and Methods A MOLLI variant allowing direct access to all pulse sequence parameters was implemented on a 1
