T1 Mapping MOLLI 5(3)3 Acquisition Scheme Yields High Accuracy in 1.5 T Cardiac Magnetic Resonance.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: To systematically compare two modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) T1 mapping sequences and their impact on (1) myocardial T1 values native, (2) post-contrast and (3) extracellular volume (ECV). Methods: 200 patients were prospectively included for 1.5 T CMR for work-up of ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. To determine native and post-contrast T1 for ECV calculation, two different T1 mapping MOLLI acquisition schemes, 5(3)3 (designed for native scans with long T1) and 4(1)3(1)2 (designed for post-contrast scans with short T1), were acquired in identical mid-ventricular short-axis slices. Both schemes were acquired in native and post-contrast scans. Results: Datasets from 163 patients were evaluated (age 55 ± 17 years; 38% female). Myocar
