Survey of water proton longitudinal relaxation in liver in vivo

DiscussionThe within-study between-subject CoV incorporates repeatability error and true between-subject variation. Between-study variation also incorporates between-population variation, together with bias from interactions between methodology and physiology. While quantitative relaxometry ultimately requires validation with phantoms and analysis of propagation of errors, this survey allows investigators to compare their ownR1 and variability values with the range of existing literature.
