Late Gd enhancement imaging is a well-established tool for the determination of infarcted myocardial tissue. However, the necessity for the operator to manually adjust the effective inversion time TI prior to a LGE acquisition makes the acquisition susceptible to sub-optimal contrast between vital and necrotic tissue. The aim of this study was to incorporate a forward-backward motion correction in the model based acceleration of parameter mapping (MAP) technique to reconstruct images of multiple contrasts out of a 2D dataset acquired after a single IR preparation. The presented method allows for retrospectively selecting the desired image contrast and thus improves the flexibility of diagnostic LGE imaging.
