Myocardial T1 mapping in patients with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy (HCM) should be performed over the entire
left ventricle due to regional variability of the
location of the hypertrophic region. We have recently
developed a free-breathing slice-interleaved T1 (STONE)
mapping sequence which allows T1 mapping with complete
coverage of LV during free-breathing in 1:30 min.
Multi-slice T1 mapping by using STONE sequence could be
advantageous to overcome limited cardiac coverage of
conventional single-slice T1 mapping technique and to
accurately detect the diffuse myocardial fibrosis in HCM
patients.
