Table 1.

Ranking of different sequences on various MRI factors. Cell color and symbols denote the underlying basis of sequence variant (see key at base of table). In general, high accuracy and precision are desired with low dependence on T2, magnetization transfer and heart rate

Parameter	Low				High
Accuracy	shMOLLI*	MOLLI*	WB/FLASH MOLLI*	SAPPHIRE‡	SASHA†
Precision	SASHA†	SAPPHIRE‡	shMOLLI*	WB/FLASH MOLLI*	MOLLI*
T2 Dependence	SASHA†	SAPPHIRE‡	WB/FLASH MOLLI*	shMOLLI*	MOLLI*
MT Dependence	SASHA†	SAPPHIRE‡	WB/FLASH MOLLI*	shMOLLI*	MOLLI*
Heart Rate Dependence	SAPPHIRE‡	SASHA†	shMOLLI*	WB/FLASH MOLLI*	MOLLI*

Abbreviations: FLASH = fast low angle shot; MOLLI = Modified Look Locker Inversion Recovery; MT= magnetization transfer; SAPPHIRE = Saturation Pulse Prepared Heart-Rate Independent Inversion Recovery; SASHA = Saturation recovery single shot-acquisition; shMOLLI = shortened MOLLI; WB = wideband
