Key result
Native T1 mapping with MOLLI and shMOLLI demonstrated excellent discriminatory accuracy between health and disease (AUC 0.94 and 0.87) and correlated significantly with collagen volume fraction.
Why the study?
Do different T1 mapping sequences (MOLLI, shMOLLI, SASHA) differ in their ability to discriminate between health and disease and correlate with histological myocardial fibrosis?

Supports diagnostic potential of MOLLI T1 mapping; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Cross-Sectional (n=83)
Do different T1 mapping sequences (MOLLI, shMOLLI, SASHA) differ in their ability to discriminate between health and disease and correlate with histological myocardial fibrosis?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.94 for MOLLI (95% CI 0.88-0.99)
MOLLI and shMOLLI T1 mapping sequences outperform SASHA in discriminating myocardial disease from health and correlating with histological diffuse fibrosis.
Child et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Diffuse myocardial fibrosis (n=83). T1 mapping sequences (MOLLI, shMOLLI, SASHA) vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Discriminatory accuracy between health and disease (AUC 0.94 for MOLLI, 95% CI 0.88-0.99). Native T1 mapping with MOLLI and shMOLLI demonstrated excellent discriminatory accuracy between health and disease (AUC 0.94 and 0.87) and correlated significantly with collagen volume fraction.
