We propose a new 3D T1 mapping technique (CS 3D T1 mapping) to acquire the entire left ventricle in a single breath-hold. The technique combines flexible saturation time sampling, sharing the saturation pulses between different RR intervals and compressed SENSE.
The proposed sequence successfully acquired a 3D-T1 map of 12 slices in a single breath-hold (14 heart beats) at 3T, achieving T1 values in good agreement with the T1 values estimated by the IR-SE sequence. Additionally, myocardium T1 values obtained with the proposed technique are similar to those already published in literature for 3T.
