Figure 4

The variation in T1ρ relaxation times with RF field amplitude (T1ρ dispersion) for each region (infarct, borderzone and remote regions of myocardium) is shown. The relaxation rate difference between tissue types increases with RF field strength, thereby enhancing contrast in T1ρ-weighted images.
