In this study, we propose a 3D whole-heart saturation-recovery T1-mapping technique combined with a 2D fat image navigator (fat-iNAV) for respiratory motion compensation. Respiratory motion of the heart is estimated from the 2D fat-iNAVs and used to correct the T1-weighted images prior to the fitting. The delineation of the myocardium is considerably improved after motion correction, while gating permits to further improve image quality and precision (p<0.05) of the T1 maps. Future work will focus on validating the proposed technique on patients with cardiovascular disease.
