3D whole brain T1 mapping technique at 9.4T is studied because of a lack of methodological consideration in spite of its utility in pre-clinical paramagnetic and manganese contrast enhanced imaging studies. We report a simple and accurate 3D T1 mapping technique using variable flip angles spoiled gradient echo sequence with B1+ correction. Accuracy of the technique was validated using phantoms and a population averaged 3D rat T1 map was constructed.
