Figure 8

Example of off-resonance dependence of MOLLI T1-map for 2 subjects. Subject 1 (top) with chronic MI at 7.5 months following acute MI and subject 2 is chronic MI at 42 months. Lipomatous metaplasia has a fat fraction in the range of 20-35%. An out-of-phase mixture occurs on resonance causing elevated apparent T1 and an in-phase mixture occurs for CF offset intentionally adjusted to −150 Hz causing an apparent dark T1.
