Table 5. Correlation of T1 mapping at room air and with 100% O2, and perfusion with COPD severity.
Cases n | r | p | |
---|---|---|---|
GOLD vs. Perfusion | 18 | 0.52 | <0.05 |
GOLD vs. T1 | 20 | 0.45 | <0.05 |
GOLD vs. ΔT1 | 20 | 0.52 | <0.05 |
Spearman rank order correlation coefficient r calculated for abnormal T1 at room air (T1), abnormal T1 shortening with pure O2 (ΔT1) and perfusion alterations (Perfusion), with COPD stage in a per-patient approach.
