Excerpt
Different cardiac MR acquisition sequences have been used to obtain myocardial T1 values. Among which available techniques, MOdified Look-Locker Inversion-recovery (MOLLI) and inversion-recovery TrueFisp (TI scout) sequences are widely used in research and clinical settings. We compared myocardial T1 values derived from both MOLLI and TI scout techniques in the post gadolinium delayed enhancement experiments in a large-scale multicenter study (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, MESA). Our results indicated that myocardial T1 measurement using MOLLI is reproducible with TI scout. …
