Abstract
Background Small-Animal Look-Locker Inversion Recovery (SALLI) is a novel imaging method that generates simultaneously cardiac T1 maps, cine MR and inversion recovery-prepared images for high heart rates. T1 mapping by SALLI has been tested and compared with histology, however the assessment of left ventricular (LV) function has not yet been validated. Our aim was to compare the measurement of LV function between the SALLI sequence and the standard Cine MRI sequence.

Small-Animal Look-Locker Inversion Recovery (SALLI) is a novel imaging method that generates simultaneously cardiac T1 maps, cine MR and inversion recovery-prepared images for high heart rates
Our aim was to compare the measurement of left ventricular (LV) function between the SALLI sequence and the standard Cine MRI sequence
After generation of survey images and of a long-axis set of cine images, a stack of LV short-axis cine images was acquired
