Fundamentals of Cardiac T1 Mapping

In the first chapter, entitled Fundamentals of Cardiac T1 Mapping, we present an overview of the scientific principles, technical choices and challenges associated with cardiac T1 mapping. This chapter reminds the reader that T1 mapping relies on a physical model of the MR signal, and shows the ways in which this model breaks down when the underlying assumptions are not met.
