Fig. 7 — DSI parameter maps including mean squared length (MSL) (top), generalised fractional anisotropy (GFA) (middle) and mean kurtosis (MK) (bottom). Mid-sagittal long-axis views of ex vivo rat hearts in slack (left) and contractured (middle) states are presented, alongside normalised histograms from 3D whole heart data (right) from 2 hearts each (solid and dashed lines) in slack state (black) and in contracture (green). Hearts in contracture show evidence of decreased GFA and MK as well as larger variation in MSL and MK.
