Figure 3

Segmentation masks and maps of the estimated MT model parameters for representative tumours. The model parameters are the transverse relaxation time, T2, of the free pool (T2,F), the exchange rate of magnetization from the MT to the free pool (RMT), the equilibrium magnetization of the MT pool relative to the free pool (M0,MT), and the T2 of the MT pool (T2,MT). The product of RMT and M0,MT is given because they are coupled; together they are a measure of the magnitude of the MT effect.
