Quantitative myocardial T
1
mapping
provides in-vivo tissue characterization for assessment
of cardiomyopathies. The extracellular volume fraction (ECV)
can be calculated from pre and post-contrast T
1
maps
and shows promise for the detection of diffuse
myocardial fibrosis. Several techniques have been
recently proposed for myocardial T
1
mapping.
However, no comprehensive comparison has been performed
across these methods. In this study, we sought to
analyze T
1
and
ECV measurements in term of accuracy, precision and
reproducibility from four T1 mapping techniques:
Modified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery (MOLLI),
Shortened MOLLI (ShMOLLI), Saturation recovery
single-shot acquisition (SASHA), and SAturation Pulse
Prepared Heart rate independent Inversion-REcovery
sequence (SAPPHIRE).
