Figure 3.
Visualization of the confounding effect of infiltration of adipose tissue on the DTI parameter estimation. The individual DTI parameters are plotted against the fat fraction (%). (A–E) Each dot represents an individual muscle of a DMD patient (grey) with the corresponding fit (blue dashed line). In the background of the graph, the mean (red line) and standard deviation (shaded area) are shown of the DTI parameters as a function of %fat derived from the simulation experiment using WLLS. The grey dashed line indicates the true values used as input for the simulation experiment.
