Error reduction of linear curve fitting for T 1 MOLLI mapping in a small animal study. Input set has initially 12 images. Plots are shown for representative pixel located in position [X:68, Y:68] a)an example of input image b)coefficient of correlation map using 12 input images c)signal behavior plot demonstrates a poor linear fit due to the inconsistent signal behavior. d) 4 input images related to increasing slope of plot in c) have been eliminated. After rerunning the tool, coefficient of correlation map shows promising results for most of the pixels in regions of interest. e)signal behavoir plot for representative pixel confirms the good quality of linear fit
