Fig 7. Transverse relaxation rate mapping.

Fig 7

Representative maps are shown for R2 (A), R2* (B) and R2′ (C). The first two maps were obtained using voxel by voxel curve fitting with an exponential decay function and the R2′ map was obtained by subtraction (R2* ‒ R2). The units of the scale bar are S-1. Images show sample wells in the phantom, in cross section. From left to right in the top row are M 24h-Fe, P 24h-Fe, P and P+Fe. Along the bottom row, from left to right, there is a well filled with 4% gelatin and a polystyrene marker for reference. Maps are provided for display only; relaxation rates (Fig 8) were determined as outlined in Methods.
