Fig. 1
Representative stress and rest splenic first-pass gadolinium perfusion and native T1-maps. Signal intensity (SI) curves represent splenic perfusion SI (y-axis, arbitrary units) over time (x-axis, 50–60 s). The maximum and minimum SIspleen are as indicated. Splenic regions of interests on perfusion images and T1-maps are outlined in red and black, respectively. Mean native T1spleen and stress changes (ΔT1 spleen ) are as labelled. 3 T images were used for illustration (observed ΔT1 spleen and ΔSI spleen are field strength independent)
