T2 estimation from MOLLI acquisitions
Cardiac T1 and T2 quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that provides characterization of a multitude of myocardial pathologies. However, each parameter requires its own specialized acquisition sequence, which may be time-consuming.

Although MOLLI is not designed for T2 mapping, its signal evolution i
