Correlation analysis of the measured relaxation times with Trec. The T1ρ and T1ρ* values are the mean values within the left ventricular ROIs (Figs. 4B, 5B). The Trec values correspond to the averaged recovery times during the corresponding individual measurements (Figs. 4A, 5A). A Shows the results with high and (B) shows the results with low Trec variability. In both cases there is a significant positive correlation (r = 0.684, r = 0.709, p < 0.05) for uncorrected monoexponential fitting and no significant correlation (r = 0.373, r = 0.272) for corrected fitting. The plots also show the 95% confidence intervals (light red/blue areas) and the respective mean values and standard deviations as error bars in both cases
