View Article and Find Full Text PDFImage data for T1 mapping are generally acquired during mid-diastole period. However, T1 mapping tends to fail for patients with high heart rate or atrial fibrillation because of short or irregular R-R interval. Focusing on the evidence that the timing of systole is more stable than that of diastole from the R wave, we compared systolic T1 mapping with conventional diastolic T1 mapping for all participants (n = 58) by visual scoring of T1 calculation error.
