## Abstract Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) research relies increasingly on small animal models and noninvasive imaging methods such as MRI, singleβphoton emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET). However, a direct comparison among these techniques for characte

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
