Myocardial T1 measurement: comparison of modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) and TI scout in the Multi-ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Different cardiac MR acquisition sequences have been used to obtain myocardial T1 values. Among which available techniques, MOdified Look-Locker Inversionrecovery (MOLLI) and inversion-recovery TrueFisp (TI scout) sequences are widely used in research and clinical settings. We compared myocardial T1 values derived from both MOLLI and TI scout techniques in the post gadolinium delayed enhancement experiments in a large-scale multicenter study (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, MESA). Our results indicated that myocardial T1 measurement using MOLLI is reproducible with TI scout.

Improved segmented modified Look-Locker inversion recovery T1 mapping sequence in mice
OBJECT To develop and evaluate a 2D modified Look-Locker (MOLLI) for high-resolution T1 mapping in mice using a 3T MRI scanner. MATERIALS AND METHODS To allow high-resolution T1 mapping in mice at high heart rates a multi-shot ECG-triggered 2D MOLLI sequence was developed. In the proposed T1 mapping sequence the optimal number of sampling points and pause cardiac cycles following an initial a...
متن کاملInfluence of fat on liver T 1 measurements using modified Look–Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) methods at 3T
PURPOSE To characterize the effect of fat on modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) T1 maps of the liver. The balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) sequence causes water and fat signals to have opposite phase when repetition time (TR) = 2.3 msec at 3T. In voxels that contain both fat and water, the MOLLI T1 measurement is influenced by the choice of TR. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...
متن کاملEffects of heart rate in modified look-locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) T1 mapping
Background MOLLI is a method of producing a T1 map at end diastole by using the electrocardiogram (ECG) under respiratory arrest to obtain consecutive inversion recovery images with an arbitrary number of MOLLI cycles. Since a variety of heart rates are presumed clinically, it is important to understand their effects on the T1 value and the error of measurement. We investigated the error of mea...
متن کاملQuantification of myocardial late gadolinium enhancement using synthetic inversion recovery imaging
Background Inversion recovery (IR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is generally used for post-contrast infarct detection in the myocardium. Novel technological advancements allow for the generation of synthetic IR images based on the pixel-bypixel T1 values. Theoretically, synthetic IR images can be retrospectively generated at any inversion time (TI). In this...
متن کاملModified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) for high-resolution T1 mapping of the heart.
A novel pulse sequence scheme is presented that allows the measurement and mapping of myocardial T1 in vivo on a 1.5 Tesla MR system within a single breath-hold. Two major modifications of conventional Look-Locker (LL) imaging are introduced: 1) selective data acquisition, and 2) merging of data from multiple LL experiments into one data set. Each modified LL inversion recovery (MOLLI) study co...
