Association between T2 relaxation time and directly measured water content. a Scatter plot demonstrating good correlation between T2 relaxation times measured by T2-TSE mapping and directly measured myocardial water content. b Scatter plot demonstrating similarly good correlation between T2 relaxation times measured by T2-GraSE mapping and directly measured myocardial water content. For each panel, individual data represent values from pigs sacrificed at baseline (black circles), 120 min (navy squares), 24 h (red triangles), 4 days (green diamonds) and 7 days (blue triangles) after reperfusion. Solid symbols represent data for ischemic myocardium and hollow symbols represent data for remote myocardium. Therefore, a total of 50 individual points for each correlation are shown which corresponds to two samples per pig (ischemic and remote myocardium) from 5 groups of 5 pigs each sacrificed at the different time-points
