Figure 5

Example of T1-maps for subjects with chronic MI for cases without lipomatous metaplasia (top) and with lipomatous metaplasia (bottom). T1-maps with lipomatous metaplasia (white arrows) have elevated apparent T1 in MI region with out-of-phase mixture of myocardium and fat. The SD in regions of lipomatous metaplasia is elevated due to the model mismatch in fitting single exponential to bi-exponential measurements.
