Native T1 and T2* relaxometry are important techniques
for quantitative analysis of myocardial substrate. 10
healthy volunteers underwent CMR on two 1.5T systems
(Siemens Avanto and Siemens Aera) at a 3 year interval
using a Modified Look-Locker Inversion MOLLI 3,3,5 and
T2* sequences. T1-MOLLI and T2* demonstrate high
consistency and inter-study reproducibility between
scanners, with no significant difference in T1 and T2*
after 3 years. CMR relaxometry should therefore be
comparable between centres for follow-up in individual
patients using different CMR scanners, with different
bore sizes, within the same vendor at 1.5T
