Synopsis
Cardiac T1 mapping provides valuable quantitative information about fibrosis in various cardiac diseases. Due to SNR limitations and the motion of the heart during imaging, often 2D T1 Maps with only low through-plane resolution (i.e. slice thickness of 6-8 mm) can be obtained. We present a model-based super-resolution reconstruction which combines multiple stacks of 2D acquisitions with 6 mm slice thickness and generates 3D high-resolution T1 maps. Cardiac and residual respiratory motion is corrected for. The approach was evaluated in native T1 mapping in three healthy volunteers and provided precise T1 maps with improved visualization of small structures.
