T1-Mapping Compared to Current MRI

Caption

Doctors currently rely on black and white MRI pictures (left) to diagnose heart disease, which can be very subjective. Doctors in the future may be able to use color coded pictures, called T1-maps, (right) to tell their patients more about the health of their hearts.

In this image the heart is in the center with the liver below it. A lung can be seen top right.
