Figure 1

Pre contrast T1 measurement example. Left multiple panels: The multibreath-hold T1 measurement uses up to 7 CMR acquisitions with linearly increasing inversion time. T1 value is reconstructed from fitting average signal intensity from individual image intensity averages. Right single panel: ShMOLLI technique generates T1 map directly on the scanner console using pixelwise calculations based on a single breath-hold experiment. ShMOLLI T1 is calculated as average of all pixels from a region of interest drawn in the myocardium.
