Abstract
Background: Quantitative myocardial tissue characterization with T1 and T2 parametric mapping can provide an accurate and complete assessment of tissue abnormalities across a broad range of cardiomyopathies. However, current clinical T1 and T2 mapping tools rely predominantly on two-dimensional (2D) breath-hold sequences. Clinical adoption of three-dimensional (3D) techniques is limited by long scan duration. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a time-efficient 3D free-breathing simultaneous T1 and T2 mapping sequence using multi-parametric SAturation-recovery and Variable-flip-Angle (mSAVA).
Methods: mSAVA acquires four volumes for simultaneous whole-heart T1 and T2 mapping. We validated mSAVA using simulations, phantoms, and in-vivo experiments at 3T in 11 healthy subjects and 11 patients with diverse cardiomyopathies. T1 and T2 values by mSAVA were compared with modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) and gradient and spin echo (GraSE), respectively. The clinical performance of mSAVA was evaluated against late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging in patients.
Results: Phantom T1 and T2 by mSAVA showed a strong correlation to reference sequences (R2 = 0.98 and 0.99). In-vivo imaging with an imaging resolution of 1.5 × 1.5 × 8 mm3 could be achieved. Myocardial T1 and T2 of healthy subjects by mSAVA were 1310 ± 46 and 44.6 ± 2.0 ms, respectively, with T1 standard deviation higher than MOLLI (105 ± 12 vs 60 ± 16 ms) and T2 standard deviation lower than GraSE (4.5 ± 0.8 vs 5.5 ± 1.0 ms). mSAVA T1 and T2 maps presented consistent findings in patients undergoing LGE. Myocardial T1 and T2 of all patients by mSAVA were 1421 ± 79 and 47.2 ± 3.3 ms, respectively.
Conclusion: mSAVA is a fast 3D technique promising for clinical whole-heart T1 and T2 mapping.
