Modiļ¬ed Look-Locker Inversion Recovery (MOLLI)
provides the highest precision and reproducibility for myocardial T1 mapping,
and extracellular volume (ECV) mapping. In this work, we determine its
effectiveness for measuring myocardial blood flow (MBF), based on apparent-T1
mapping under two conditions, slice-selective inversion and non-selective
inversion. We demonstrate that MOLLI provides measured MBF comparable to the
reference FAIR-SSFP ASL method.
