Abstract We investigated the feasibility of free-breathing modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) sequence for measuring hepatic T1 values in children and young adults. To investigate the accuracy and the reproducibility of the T1 maps, a phantom study was performed with 12 different gadoterate meglumine concentrations and the T1 relaxation times of phantoms measured with the MOLLI sequence were compared against those measured with three different sequences: spin-echo inversion recovery, variable flip angle (VFA), and VFA with B1 correction. To evaluate the feasibility of free-breathing MOLLI sequence, hepatic T1 relaxation times obtained by free-breathing and breath-hold technique in twenty patients were compared. The phantom study revealed the excellent accuracy and reproducibility of MOLLI. In twenty patients, the mean value of hepatic T1 values obtained by free-breathing (606.7 ± 64.5 ms) and breath-hold (609.8 ± 64.0 ms) techniques showed no significant difference (p > 0.05). The Bland–Altman plot between the free-breathing and breath-hold revealed that the mean difference of T1 values was − 3.0 ms (− 0.5%). Therefore, T1 relaxation times obtained by MOLLI were comparable to the values obtained using the standard inversion recovery method. The hepatic T1 relaxation times measured by MOLLI technique with free-breathing were comparable to those obtained with breath-hold in children and young adults.
