Color-map recommendation for MR relaxometry maps.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To harmonize the use of color for MR relaxometry maps and therefore recommend the use of specific color-maps for representing T1$$ {\mathrm{T}}_1 $$ , T2$$ {\mathrm{T}}_2 $$ , and T2*$$ {\mathrm{T}}_2^{\ast } $$ maps and their inverses.

Methods

Perceptually linearized color-maps were chosen to have similar color settings as those proposed by Griswold et al. in 2018. A Delphi process, polling the opinion of a panel of 81 experts, was used to generate consensus on the suitability of these maps.

Results

Consensus was reached on the suitability of the logarithm-processed Lipari color-map for T1$$ {\mathrm{T}}_1 $$ and the logarithm-processed Navia color-map for T2$$ {\mathrm{T}}_2 $$ and T2*$$ {\mathrm{T}}_2^{\ast } $$ . There was consensus on color bars being man
