Fig. 1From: Sensitive marker for evaluation of hypertensive heart disease: extracellular volume and myocardial strainRepresentative example of T1 mapping for ECV measurement. Short-axis cine image (a), baseline pre-contrast T1 map (b with mean T1 relaxation time in myocardium ROI = 1272 ms and blood pool ROI = 1597 ms) and post-contrast T1 map (c with mean T1 relaxation time in myocardium ROI = 532msand blood pool ROI = 332 ms) and ECV = 0.22Back to article page
