relaxation
time constants were applied to differentiate areas of
early regeneration in a mouse hind limb ischemia model.
Percentages of areas having early signs of regeneration
and areas of other tissue morphologies were determined
based on T
2
and
T
1ρ
of
the ischemic muscle cross section and correlations
between histology derived percentages were calculated.
Both T
2
and
T
1ρ
were
able to detect the early regenerative areas making them
potential markers of activation of regeneration of
skeletal muscle tissue after ischemia.
