Table 2.

The myocardium and blood T₁ of healthy volunteers (N = 12) at 3 T measured by the proposed sequence and 2D SASHA

	2D SASHA		Proposed
	2-Param fit	3-Param fit
LV T1 (ms) (μ ± σ)	–	–	1476 ± 53
LV CV (%)	–	–	6.1 ± 1.4
Septal T1 (ms) (μ ± σ)	1490 ± 65	1575 ± 59	1512 ± 60
Septal CV (%)	3.9 ± 1.2	5.5 ± 0.9	2.1 ± 0.5
Blood T1 (ms) (μ ± σ)	2281 ± 232	2213 ± 281	2113 ± 142

A mean and CV of T₁ was calculated for each subject, then the μ, σ, CV and CV’s standard deviation as shown in the table was calculated by across all subjects
