The 3D Multitasking acquisition technique simultaneously acquires co-registered T1, T2, and B1+ maps with cine capability in whole ventricle. Multitasking resolves the cardiac and respiratory motions, allowing for free-breathing acquisition without need for ECG.
Fig.5 (animated): Cardiac motion-resolved images of two subjects of proposed 3D Stack-of-Stars Multitasking in short axis orientation with 3D (1.4x1.4x8.0 mm3 resolution) whole-ventricle coverage in TA=9:14min. Comparative multi-slice and multi breath-hold 2D TrueFisp CINE in short axis (non-fat suppressed, 1.3x1.3x8.0 mm3 resolution, TA=11s per slice).
