Current myocardial T1 and T2 mapping based on inversion-recovery and single-shot readout techniques require generally at least 7 to 10 seconds breath hold. Improper and difficulties of breath hold is one of the main sources of error and reduced reproducibility. To mitigate the dependence of mapping on breath holds and also to increase patient comfort, we report free-breathing T1 and T2 mapping using different acquisition schemes using flexible elastic image registration. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach with motion correction for increased image quality and quantification accuracy.
