Multiparametric quantitative myocardial tissue characterization has demonstrated promising results in the differential diagnosis of non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. While conventional cardiac relaxometry techniques employ various different sequence approaches with subsequent fitting data fitting, library based cardiac magnetic resonance fingerprinting (cMRF) enables single breath-hold multi-contrast acquisitions. This investigation into the comparison of cMRF with standard modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) T1 mapping and its derived parameters and T2-prep FLASH T2 mapping demonstrated promising results in the assessment of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathies.
