Modified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery (MOLLI) is a
common technique for T1 mapping of the heart. However,
it requires a lengthy rest period in between inversion
groupings to allow for complete magnetization recovery.
A new MOLLI fitting algorithm with a new fitting model
is presented in this work to allow for arbitrary
inversion groupings and rest periods, including no rest
period. Phantom and in-vivo experiments verified the
technique. T1 values measured using several different
inversion grouping/rest period combinations yielded
consistent results with the new algorithm, but with a
slight loss of precision.
