MR parametric mapping including T1 and T2 enabled quantitative evaluation of changes of myocardium. We previously proposed a time-efficient technique for 3D free-breathing simultaneous T1 and T2 mapping based on multi-parametric SAturation recovery and Variable flip Angle (mSAVA). This study evaluated the accuracy, precision, and reproducibility of mSAVA in comparison with conventional 2D sequences. mSAVA achieved good accuracy, between that of MOLLI and SASHA, and better precision and reproducibility than SASHA for T1 measurements. T2 measured by mSAVA had better precision and reproducibility than both GraSE and bSSFP T2. mSAVA offers a promising option for myocardial tissue characterization.
