T1 contrast in real-time radial FLASH CMR. T1-weighted images (spoiled FLASH, TR/TE = 2.0/1.3 ms, 15 spokes, acquisition time 30 ms) with increasing T1 contrast as a function of flip angle (4°, 8°, 12°) for a short-axis view (2.0 mm resolution, 8 mm section thickness) during (a) diastole and (b) systole. The images were selected from respective real-time CMR movies reconstructed by nonlinear inversion.
