Cardiac magnetic resonance fingerprinting (cMRF) can be used to simultaneously acquire myocardial T₁ and T₂ maps in a single breath-hold. However, the common 250 ms acquisition window of cMRF might leave it vulnerable to motion artefacts. The goal of this study was therefore to compare the performance of cMRF with a short acquisition window (150ms) and low-rank reconstruction to that of routine cardiac parametric mapping techniques. In 7 healthy volunteers, and 62 cardiac patients, cMRF resulted in similar native relaxation times, but slightly different post-contrast T₁ and ECV values compared to routine techniques.
