From: Importance of standardizing timing of hematocrit measurement when using cardiovascular magnetic resonance to calculate myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) based on pre- and post-contrast T1 mapping

Fig. 2

Mid-ventricular left ventricular short-axis T1 maps acquired pre- and post-Gd contrast injection in one subject. Region of interests in which T1-values were measured in the septal wall and in the blood pool are indicated in red. The extracellular volume fraction (ECV) was calculated based on these T1 measurements related to Hct according to Eq. [1]. Gd = gadolinium, Hct = hematocrit, LV = left ventricle, RV = right ventricle
