Comparison of the transplanted infiltrated lung tissue with CAF vs the transplanted infiltrated lung tissue without CAF (comparison C). MTR mean values are depicted and error bars indicate the 95% confidence interval for all off-resonance frequencies and flip angles. Single asterisks indicate significant p values; two asterisks indicate values close to significance (0.05 > p ≤ 0.09). 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 = 0.049, 2000 Hz/p = 0.057, 3000 Hz/p = 0.055, 4000 Hz/p = 0.050, 6000 Hz/p = 0.087, 8000 Hz/p = 0.058, 10,000 Hz/p = 0.074 and 15,000 Hz/p = 0.137. 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 = 0.053, 2000 Hz/p = 0.392, 3000 Hz/p = 0.739, 4000 Hz/p = 0.507, 6000 Hz/p = 0.350, 8000 Hz/p = 0.028, 10,000 Hz/p = 0.141 and 15,000 Hz/p = 0.190
