Previous studies in a model of ischemia/reperfusion using a constant infusion of Gd-DTPA have shown that distribution volume (lambda) is increased in infarcted myocardial tissue. This study examined this technique in the setting of permanent coronary artery occlusion. Ten beagles underwent permanent

## Abstract MRI is emerging as an important modality for assessing myocardial function in transgenic and knockout mouse models of cardiovascular disease, including myocardial infarction (MI). Displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) measures myocardial motion at high spatial resolution
## Abstract In delayed contrastβenhanced MRI for the assessment of myocardial viability, the TI time in a gated inversionβrecovery segmented gradient echo sequence is usually selected to null signal from normal myocardium. Although this TI time generates good contrast between the enhancing infarcte
