View from the 3D anatomical image and corresponding T₁ and T_1ρ maps 7 days after MI. For a comparison, one slice was acquired with conventional 2D T_1ρ and 2D T₂ methods and utilized in the ROI analysis. Pink arrows are pointing to the left ventricular wall and blue arrows are pointing to the septum. Arrows pointing to the left ventricular wall (pink) and the septum (blue) show the regions where fibrosis and inflammation were detected with histology, respectively.
