Vascular-augmented two-compartment fitting improves model performance for intermittent myocardial T1 mapping.
Article in Magma (New York, N.Y.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesConventional gadolinium-enhanced cardiac MRI typically evaluates myocardial tissues at a single post-contrast time point. In contrast, dynamic T1 mapping enables the estimation of contrast agent concentrations and subsequent pharmacokinetic modeling. This study compared a normal composite two-compartment model incorporating myocardial vascular components with the conventional Brix model. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study included 107 participants who underwent dynamic T1 mapping at 4 points after contrast administration. Contrast agent concentrations derived from T1 maps were fitted using the Brix and composite pharmacokinetic models. Model performance was assessed using the residual sum of squares (RSS), Akaike information criterion (AIC), and Bayesian information criterion (BIC), along with spatial comparison of model-estimated concentration maps.
resultsThe composite model exhibited significantly lower RSS, AIC, and BIC values than the Brix model (all p < 0.001). Absolute parameter estimation errors were reduced across all time points. In addition, systematic spatial differences in estimated myocardial contrast concentrations were observed between the two models, indicating distinct model-dependent representations of longitudinal contrast kinetics.
conclusionsThe composite model achieved superior fitting performance compared with the Brix model. Explicit incorporation of vascular kinetics improves the longitudinal characterization of contrast behavior and enhances quantitative assessment of myocardial tissue properties.
