Current solutions for T1 mapping rely on 2D images of the heart, and require time-inefficient cardiac gating as well as long breath-holds. To address these drawbacks, a Free-running framework for fully self-gated cardiac and respiratory motion-resolved 5D imaging of the heart was extended to include T1 recovery contrast as a 6^th dimension. The framework was tested at 3T in an ISMRM-NIST phantom and demonstrated good agreement between the estimated T1 values and reference standard. Preliminary 3D T1 maps in 3 healthy volunteers showed good resolution of the physiological motion and accurate T1 values of the myocardium and blood.
