## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate whether an extracellular gadolinium‐(Gd)‐based contrast agent (CA) enters nonperfused myocardium during acute coronary occlusion, and whether nonperfused myocardium presents as hyperintense in delayed contrast‐enhanced (DE) MR images in the absence of CA in th
## Abstract ## Purpose To demonstrate the advantages of signal intensity percent‐infarct‐mapping (SI‐PIM) using the standard delayed enhancement (DE) acquisition in assessing viability following myocardial infarction (MI). SI‐PIM quantifies MI density with a voxel‐by‐voxel resolution in clinically
