Simulation-based quantification of native T1 and T2 of the myocardium using a modified MOLLI scheme and the importance of Magnetization Transfer [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Quantitative cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging techniques are gaining wide acceptance within the MR community due to their potential to diagnose non-localized disease, guide therapy and improve patient outcome. During the last decade, there has been an increasing interest for developing new techniques that allow for simultaneous quantification of both T1 and T2 maps of myocardium. Newer studies demonstrated that the incorporation of MRI simulations could yield similar results to conventional mapping techniques in the myocardium. However, these simulation-based quantitative MR techniques usually compare the in-vivo T1 estimates against less accurate T1 techniques, whereas they present inconsistencies between simulation studies, phantom and in-vivo measurements. Moreover, these studies do not investigate the effect of Magnetization Transfer on the myocardial T1 and T2 estimates but are usually validated on phantoms where the MT effect is small.
