MOdified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery (MOLLI) scheme for T1-mapping in the heart [32]. The original protocol employed 3 inversions with 3, 3, and 5 images acquired in the beats following inversions, and 3 heart beat recovery periods between inversions, referred to here as 3(3)3(3)5. All images are acquired at the same delay from the R-wave trigger for mid-diastolic imaging. Curve fitting is performed on a pixel-wise basis using the actual measured inversion times.
