Figure 1 Calculating Myocardial T1 Time
A region of interest (ROI) was drawn around the left ventricular myocardium in the 10 images obtained from our prototype sequence (A). Signal intensities for each ROI were then curve-fitted to an exponential recovery curve to obtain the myocardial T1 time for each patient (B). Conventional delayed enhancement imaging (C) was used to demonstrate regional fibrosis.
