Figure 4
Quantification of myocardial organization via fractional anisotropy (FA). Local FA at three levels from base to apex of the rat heart (a) before, (b) 9 h after and (c) 342 h after ethanol immersion. Difference in local FA between the heart before and (d) 9 h after and (e) 342 h after ethanol immersion. The average FA difference ( $[\bar\varepsilon]$ ) was calculated for each image slice.
