We recently reported normal myocardial T1s at 7T, using
the ShMOLLI+IE sequence on a scanner with 16x1kW RF
channels. We now introduce the 7T SASHA variant of the
saturation recovery single-shot acquisition (SASHA)
sequence for use on scanners with only 8x1kW RF. In
phantoms, 7T SASHA T1s were within 6% of IR-SE
reference T1s for readout FAs≤25. In 10 volunteers,
native 7T SASHA T1s in the septum were 193973ms and
999-1674ms after Dotarem contrast. These values are
consistent with our ShMOLLI+IE T1 of 1925 48 ms. 7T
SASHA paves the way for clinical applications of T1
mapping at 7T.
