To assess the effects of T1 mapping and ECV calculating by adding MOLLI T1 mapping sequence to our routine cardiac MR work up protocol, eighty-eight patients, who had pre- and post- Gd contrast MOLLI acquisitions for T1 mapping and ECV calculation in addition to routine sequences for cardiac work up, were reviewed. Only mid-short axis and mid-4chember views were acquired for T1 mapping to avoid increasing the exam time too much. We observed that adding MOLLI T1 mapping sequence to a cardiac work up protocol is a simple and effective way to catch T1 and myocardial ECV message even only limited planes were applied.
