The purpose of this study was to correlate the abnormal signal area on various magnetic resonance (MR) images to the infarct area on pathologic examination and to assess the myocardial viability on the basis of MR images. T2weighted, first-pass perfusion, and delayed gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted
Background. Positron emission tomography (PET) flow/metabolic mismatch is considered the nuclear medicine gold standard for the assessment of myocardial viability. The aim of this study was to investigate whether baseline/nitrate technetium 99m tetrofosmin single photon emission computed tomography
