Popis: Abstract Stress and rest T1-mapping may assess for myocardial ischemia and extracellular volume (ECV). However, the stress T1 response is method-dependent, and underestimation may lead to misdiagnosis. Further, ECV quantification may be affected by time, as well as the number and dosage of gadolinium (Gd) contrast administered. We compared two commonly available T1-mapping approaches in their stress T1 response and ECV measurement stability. Healthy subjects (n = 10, 50% female, 35 ± 8 years) underwent regadenoson stress CMR (1.5 T) on two separate days. Prototype ShMOLLI 5(1)1(1)1 sequence was used to acquire consecutive mid-ventricular T1-maps at rest, stress and post-Gd contrast to track the T1 time evolution. For comparison, standard MOLLI sequences were used: MOLLI 5(3)3 Low (256 matrix) & High (192 matrix) Heart Rate (HR) to acquire rest and stress T1-maps, and MOLLI 4(1)3(1)2 Low & High HR for post-contrast T1-maps. Stress and rest myocardial blood flow (MBF) maps were acquired after IV Gd contrast (0.05 mmol/kg each). Stress T1 reactivity (delta T1) was defined as the relative percentage increase in native T1 between rest and stress. Myocardial T1 values for delta T1 (dT1) and ECV were calculated. Residuals from the identified time dependencies were used to assess intra-method variability. ShMOLLI achieved a greater stress T1 response compared to MOLLI Low and High HR (peak dT1 = 6.4 ± 1.7% vs. 4.8 ± 1.3% vs. 3.8 ± 1.0%, respectively; both p
