The longitudinal variation and averaged T1 measured in the hepatic portal vein (HPV) obtained with 12 variations of Look-Locker (LL) and Modified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery (MOLLI) sequences were compared to identify the sequence with least variation. Among the sequences studied, LL sequence with 5 beat readout and 45o flip angle and MOLLI with an acquisition scheme 10 beats readout, 5 beats recovery followed by 5 beat readout (10(5)5) were shown to be the most stable. Method of image analysis and the use of simulated versus real-time EKG did not significantly affect the stability of the T1-estimates.
