Cardiac T1 mapping provides valuable information for the diagnosis of a variety of heart diseases. However, due to SNR and scan time limitations, often only 2D imaging with a low through-plane resolution covering a few slices of the left ventricle is possible. In this work, a super-resolution reconstruction approach is presented aiming towards whole-heart 1.3 mm isotropic T1 mapping within less than three minutes acquisition time. The proposed approach provided a whole-heart cardiac T1 map including the atria and the right ventricle with improved visualization of small structures and overall image quality.
