Synopsis

Myocardium tissue characterization with multi-parametric mapping has gained increased clinical interest. Conventional methods require multiple breath-holding, ECG-triggered scans, which may result in potential image misregistration and patient fatigue. In this work, a free-breathing, non-ECG-triggered approach for simultaneous myocardial T1/T2/T2*/FF (fat-fraction) mapping is presented. Quantitative measurements from the proposed technique agreed with those from single-parameter references.
