Off-resonance may artifactually vary regional T1 in MOLLI; leaves open whether B0 correction improves diagnostic accuracy.
Does off-resonance variation affect the accuracy of myocardial T1-mapping using the SSFP based MOLLI method?
Regional variations in the B0-field around the heart cause artifactual regional variations in T1 measurements when using SSFP-based MOLLI sequences.
