Example of native T₁ maps obtained in two patients using the proposed sequence. Each map was quantified using a 16 myocardial segment model using the three mid-ventricular slices. These patients were referred to CMR with the following indications: Patient #1-assessment of cardiomyopathy and patient #2-dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Elevated native T₁ times were observed in these patients when compared to the healthy subject control group (1094±24ms).
