We developed a free-breathing 3D extracellular volume (ECV) mapping method for the entire heart at 3T. Using ECG-gated inversion recovery and a linear tangent-space alignment model, we aligned high-frame-rate dynamic images from sparsely sampled (k,t)-space data. Joint T1 and B1 mapping before and after contrast injection, with a linearly varying T1 model post-contrast, allowed for the creation of ECV maps by aligning pre- and post-contrast T1 maps. Tested on six healthy volunteers at 3T, the method produced 3D ECV maps with 1.9×1.9×4.5 mm³ resolution and a 308×308×144 mm³ FOV, with scan times around 10 minutes. The ECV maps corresponded well with the 2D MOLLI method. This approach enables practical free-breathing 3D ECV mapping of the whole heart.
