Excerpt
In this study we have compared the multi flip angle (MFA) FLASH T1 mapping technique to shortened look locker inversion recovery (ShMOLLI) for assessment of pre and post contrast T1 for equilibium contrast CMR (EQ-CMR) and also potential pseudoequilibrium post bolus. Good agreement was found in the volume of distribution, Vd(m), between both techniques and at equilibirum. …
