We investigated native T1 mapping for detection of liver tumors in comparison to multi-parametric MRI. In 13 rabbits with implanted 2 week VX2 tumor, 9 of which underwent transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), native T1 mapping showed a similar spatial pattern compared to dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) imaging, apparent diffusion coefficient maps (ADC), and post-contrast T1 maps. Native T1 is highest in central necrosis, intermediate in viable hypervascular tumor, and lowest in normal liver.
