Dixon cardiac Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (DcMRF) has been recently proposed to enable simultaneous water T₁, water T₂ and fat fraction (FF) quantification in a single breath-hold scan. Here we investigate the reproducibility, repeatability and clinical feasibility of DcMRF in comparison to reference MOLLI, T2GRASE and 6 echo proton density FF measurements. Reproducibility and repeatability were investigated in healthy subjects, whereas native T₁, T₂ and FF, and post contrast T₁ and synthetic ECV measurements were performed in patients with suspected cardiovascular disease.
