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. In this work, we demonstrate that MOLLI, an acquisition sequence commonly used to perform T1 mapping, is also sensitive to T2, and can also be used for myocardial T2 mapping. Although MOLLI is not designed for T2 mapping, its signal evolution i
