Color‐map recommendation for <scp>MR</scp> relaxometry maps
The authors recommend the use of the logarithm-processed Lipari color-map for displaying quantitative <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mi>T</mml:mi> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn></mml:msub> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation>$$ {\mathrm{T}}_1 $$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> maps and <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mi>R</mml:mi> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn></mml:msub> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation>$$ {\mathrm{R}}_1 $$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> maps; likewise, the authors recommend the logarithm-processed Navia color-map for displaying <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mi>T</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:msub> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation>$$ {\mathrm{T}}_2 $$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> , <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow><mml:msubsup><mml:mi>T</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mo>*</mml:mo></mml:msubsup> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation>$$ {\mathrm{T}}_2^{\ast } $$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> , <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mi>R</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:msub> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation>$$ {\mathrm{R}}_2 $$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> , and <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow><mml:msubsup><mml:mi>R</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mo>*</mml:mo></mml:msubsup> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation>$$ {\mathrm{R}}_2^{\ast } $$</mml:annotation></mml:semantics> </mml:math> maps.
