T1rho is promising for early detection of liver fibrosis. However, the richness of blood vessels in the liver coupled with respiratory motion makes T1rho measurement prone to errors. In this work, we propose a pulse sequence to simultaneously obtain a T1rho and a T2 map of liver in a single breathhold with black blood effect.
