Figure 5

The six images on the left demonstrate the change in relaxation times and relative enhancement of contrast through the use of an increasingly greater RF spin lock field (ν1 = 500–2500 Hz, B0 = 7T). These images are shown alongside a comparable T2 relaxation map of the same slice. A corresponding left ventricular in vivo T1ρ-relaxation map is shown on the right (ν1 = 750 Hz, B0 = 3T). The arrow depicts the infarct area on the free wall. Note that the scales for the ex vivo and in vivo images are different.
