DTI and quantitative collagen measurements obtained from control and failing hearts. FA (fractional anisotropy), MD (mean diffusivity), D1 (primary diffusivity), D2 (secondary diffusivity), and D3 (tertiary diffusivity). DTI and collagen measurements were obtained from ROIs covering the whole imaged tissue area.
