Fig. 3From: Synthetic hematocrit derived from the longitudinal relaxation of blood can lead to clinically significant errors in measurement of extracellular volume fraction in pediatric and young adult patientsLinear regression fit of measured vs synthetic Hct and ECV for local model. Similarly poor regression fit using the local model (a) with elimination of bias on Bland-Altman analysis (b). There was a tendency for the local equation to overestimate Hct at higher values and underestimate Hct at lower values. However there was excellent fit for measured vs synthetic ECV at the mid-free wall (c) without significant bias on Bland-Altman analysis (d). Dashed line in A and C represents line of identity. For Bland-Altman plots, solid line represents mean difference and dashed lines (B and D) are ±1.96SDBack to article page
