Key result
The free-breathing MOLLI sequence and optimized reconstruction method significantly increased the accuracy and reproducibility of free-breathing T1 measurements (p < 0.001).
Why the study?
Does a free-breathing MOLLI sequence with optimized reconstruction improve the accuracy and reproducibility of myocardial T1 mapping in healthy volunteers?
Does a free-breathing MOLLI sequence with optimized reconstruction improve the accuracy and reproducibility of myocardial T1 mapping in healthy volunteers?
p-value: p=<0.001
The FB-MOLLI method provides a robust tool for free-breathing myocardial T1 mapping, which could facilitate acquisition procedures for patients unable to perform voluntary breath-holds.

May support free-breathing T1 mapping in breath-hold intolerant patients; leaves open validation in clinical populations.
Tsai et al. (2012) studied Healthy volunteers (n=9). Free-breathing MOLLI (FB-MOLLI) sequence and optimized reconstruction method was evaluated on Accuracy and reproducibility of free-breathing T1 measurements (p=<0.001). The free-breathing MOLLI sequence and optimized reconstruction method significantly increased the accuracy and reproducibility of free-breathing T1 measurements (p < 0.001).
