T1 and T2 mappings are novel quantitative methods to assess microscopic changes in the myocardium. The aim of this study was to assess differences in myocardial T1 and T2 measurements with automatic motion correction according to breathhold, free-breathing and cardiac cycle. Methods Myocardial T1 and T2 mapping at 3 Tesla MR was obtained from 24 healthy volunteers (16 males and 8 females, mean age, 31±4 years). Shortened modified looklocker inversion recovery was used for T1 mapping and T2-prepared single-shot steady-state free precession was utilized for T2 mapping. Automatic motion correction was done by an elastic registration algorithm based on estimating motion-free synthetic images. For each patient, T1 and T2 mapping were performed consecutively at three shortaxis levels in mid-diastole during breathhold (BH), in middiastole during free-breathing (FB), and in end-systole during breathhold (SYS-BH). T1 and T2 values were measured in six segments per each level. Mean and standard deviation of slice-averaged myocardial T1 and T2 values were compared between BH, FB and SYS-BH. Results Mean slice-averaged myocardial T1 and T2 values displayed good agreement between BH, FB and SYS-BH (T1 values, 1127 vs. 1146 vs. 1123; T2 values, 41 vs. 42 vs. 41). Standard deviation of T1 measurements was significantly different between BH and SYS-BH (p=0.006) and between FB and SYS-BH (p<0.000) but no significant difference was found between BH and FB (p=0.753). Standard deviation of T2 measurements was not statistically different between BH, FB and SYS-BH (p=0.068). Standard deviation of T1 and T2 measurements was lowest in SYS-BH followed by BH and FB.
