FIG. 3

Rendering of diffusion tensors near the junction of the right and left ventricles. The coloration reflects the degree of orthotropy characterized by the LP ratio (Eq. [7]). Diffusion tensors near the endocardial margin of the RV–LV juncture have high cP (planar anisotropy) and hence low LP ratios, possibly indicating a branching fiber architecture. Elsewhere, glyphs in the midwall have LP ratios of ∼0.5, possibly indicating laminar orthotropic architecture structure, while epicardial glyphs tend to be linearly anisotropic and hence have high LP ratios.
