[Abstract] T1 Mapping technique can obtain the myocardial T1 value quantitatively, and evaluate the myocardial histological features in various cardiomyopathy accurately. Many image acquisition technologies have been used to T1 Mapping sequences, and the native T1 which may reflect myocardial fibrosis has good reproducibility. It may detect diffuse myocardial injury by measuring native T1 value and post contrast T1 value. This review aims to introduce the T1 Mapping technique and its clinical applications.
