In some cases, MRI is superior to other imaging modalities, particularly in the evaluation of thoracic aort
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate whether an extracellular gadoliniumβ(Gd)βbased contrast agent (CA) enters nonperfused myocardium during acute coronary occlusion, and whether nonperfused myocardium presents as hyperintense in delayed contrastβenhanced (DE) MR images in the absence of CA in th
