Comparison of the transplanted lung tissues with CAF (including well-ventilated and infiltrated lung tissue) vs the transplanted lung tissues without CAF (including well-ventilated and infiltrated lung tissue) (comparison B). MTR mean values are depicted and error bars indicate the 95% confidence interval for all off-resonance frequencies and flip angles. No significant differences were observed. In the following, we give the p values for a 1000° flip angle and all off-resonance frequencies (off-resonance frequency (Hz)/p value): 1000 Hz/p = 0.160, 2000 Hz/p = 0.931, 3000 Hz/p = 0.836, 4000 Hz/p = 0.872, 6000 Hz/p = 0.967, 8000 Hz/p = 0.795, 10,000 Hz/p = 0.936 and 15,000 Hz/p = 0.793. The p values for a 3000° flip angle and all off-resonance frequencies were as follows (off-resonance frequency (Hz)/p value): 1000 Hz/p = 0.282, 2000 Hz/p = 0.658, 3000 Hz/p = 0.364, 4000 Hz/p = 0.599, 6000 Hz/p = 0.535, 8000 Hz/p = 0.898, 10,000 Hz/p = 0.881 and 15,000 Hz/p = 0.680
