T1⍴-CMR allows the detection of scarred myocardial tissue without the need of an exogenous contrast. However, the generation of a single-slice T1ρ map requires sequential acquisitions under several breath-holds to acquire the T1⍴-weighted images at different spin-lock times, leading to long, inefficient scan times. We recently proposed a free-breathing motion-compensated 3D whole heart T1ρ mapping technique with near-isotropic spatial resolution (1.7×1.7×2 mm3) and predictable and clinically feasible scan In this work time (~8min). Here, we extend this technique to incorporate non-rigid motion corrected reconstruction and validate the proposed technique on subjects with suspected myocardial infarction.
