Figure 2.
The locations of ROIs in each sample (a and d) and the plots of R2* values over the angles in each ROI (b, and c for Sample 1; e and f for Sample 2. The fitted lines (dashed red for the isotropic susceptibility model; dotted blue for the anisotropic susceptibility model) clearly show that the isotropic model has poor fit whereas the anisotropic model tightly follows the measurement. The R2* values are the highest when the fiber orientation is perpendicular to B0 field whereas the value becomes low when it is parallel to B0 field.
