SMART1Map sequence was performed on 6 phantoms with different T₁ values. Sixteen schemes were prescribed: 4 heart rates (60, 80, 100, 120 bpm), 2 spatial resolutions (FOV = 30 cm and FOV = 48 cm) and 2 cardiac phases (systole and diastole). The results show that SMART1Map underestimates long T₁ (native T₁ myocardium) at any scheme. We also found an increase in error with reduced FOV (all other parameters being identical), and an influence of the cardiac phases on T₁ at the levels of native and post-contrast blood and myocardium
