Example of DTI raw images of mid-ventricular short axis slices: a) b-value=0 image (with dark blood ~= 5 s/mm2) b-n) b-values=350 s/mm2 for 12 directions and calculated parametric maps: o) mean diffusivity MD, p) fraction of anisotropy FA, q) colored FA maps displaying the classical fiber orientation; parametric maps from IVIM dataset : r) fast diffusion D*, s) perfusion fraction f, and t) diffusion D.
