<h4>Background</h4>Using the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) as a biomarker, the myocardium can be quantitatively characterized using cardiac T1 mapping. The modified Look-Locker inversion (MOLLI) recovery sequences have become the standard clinical method for cardiac T1 mapping. However, the MOLLI sequences require an 11-heartbeat breath-hold that can be difficult for subjects, particularly during exercise or pharmacologically induced stress. Although shorter cardiac T1 mapping sequences have ...[more]
