Ex vivo infarct quantification. (A) Agreement between the high resolution T1 weighted sequence compared to 2D-PSIR and 3D-IR ex vivo. The bias was 6.7 ± 3.0% for 2D-PSIR sequence and 7.3 ± 2.7% for the 3D-IR sequence (p < 0.05 for both). (B) Agreement between the 2D-PSIR and 3D-IR sequence ex vivo. Each black triangle represents one pig. The bias was 0.67 ± 2.4% and r = 0.93. Solid line = line of identity in both panel A and B.
