Sensitivity of myocardial T1 estimate using MOLLI 5s(3s)3s to excitation flip angle for various T1 values which has increasing T1 underestimation for increasing flip angle (top graph) and in-vivo examples for native myocardium at 1.5 T showing SNR maps, T1-maps, and standard deviation (SD) maps for flip angles of 20°-35° showing trade-off of SNR and precision.
