Figure 1

Mean values (± SEM) for myocardial (black squares) and blood (white circles) T1, R1, ΔR1 and partition coefficient (lambda) over time after injection of ferric carboxymaltose in healthy volunteers (n = 8). R1 is equal to 1/T1. ΔR1 is the difference between post-contrast and pre-contrast R1 and is proportional to contrast concentration. Lambda is the ratio of ΔR1 of the myocardium to ΔR1 of the blood. Note that lambda is effectively unchanged between 20-50 minutes after injection.
