Volumetric T1 mapping in the abdomen is desirable for whole liver assessment of hepatic diseases. In case of breath-hold imaging, accurate but time-consuming methods that sample the relaxation curve (IR or Look-Locker) are restricted to few slices only. To address these limitations, sparse Cartesian sampling with spatiotemporal incoherence is utilized to render 3-D Look-Locker within a single breath-hold possible. We demonstrate feasibility in both phantom and in-vivo measurements. The proposed method shows high agreement with a 2-D reference acquisition and enables an accurate mapping for a wide T1 range, including very low values due to its high temporal resolution.
