Temporal registration: a new approach to manage the incomplete recovery of the longitudinal magnetization in the Modified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery sequence (MOLLI) for T1 mapping of the heart.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo correct with post-processing effects of incomplete recovery of the longitudinal magnetization before a new inversion pulse in the Modified Look-Locker Inversion recovery sequence (MOLLI) sequence. THEORY AND
methodsWe model such effects as a temporal shift ([Formula: see text]) of the signal of the Look-Locker block following next inversion pulses. After using the following equation [Formula: see text], a temporal registration of [Formula: see text] is applied to the signal of the affected block to adjust the sampling time of the recovery signal and correct the underlying effect on quantitative T1. To test our approach, simulations, phantoms, and five volunteers' data were used while applying different MOLLI sampling schemes at different heart rates and compared to the reference three-parameter fit.
resultsThe temporal registration of the affected signals allows to reach higher accuracy on long T1 when compared to the reference three parameters fit (10.15 vs 22.12% for T1 = 1785 ms; 8.22 vs 14.65% for T1 = 1278 ms), and lower average variation in case of rest-period deletion (62 vs 231 ms).
conclusionThe proposed approach leads to more accurate T1 in case of incomplete recovery. It is less sensitive to parameters affecting the recovery such as the rest period or the sampling scheme; and, therefore, supports multi-center studies with different MOLLI protocols.
