Clinically available MOLLI and SASHA techniques can be used to accurately estimate ECV in normal myocardium where MOLLI-sequences show minor overestimation driven by underestimation of postcontrast T1 when compared with SASHA. The timing of imaging after contrast administration affected the measurement of ECV using some variants of the MOLLI sequence.
