Examples of MTR maps (1000° flip angle and 4000 Hz off-resonance frequency) and anatomical images of infiltrated mouse lungs with and without CAF. On the anatomical maps one can see infiltration in the transplanted lungs of both mice with CAF (dotted ROI on the right) and without CAF (solid line ROI on the right). The non-transplanted side (ROIs on the left) of the anatomical map show low signal of the non-infiltrated lungs. MTR maps indicate CAF in the infiltrated lung: the infiltrated lungs without CAF show higher MTR values (solid line ROI on the right) than the infiltrated lungs with CAF (dotted ROI on the right). MTR values of the non-transplanted side are lower compared to the transplanted side of both mice (ROIs on the left)
