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
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate a T1 and T2 preparation pulse sequence to evaluate microvascular obstruction (MO) in a porcine model of reperfused acute myocardial infarction (AMI). ## Materials and Methods A total of 14 pigs with reperfused AMI underwent MRI examinations at baseline and t
A double inversion radial fast spin echo (DIR-RADFSE) has been developed to obtain T2 maps of the heart with high-temporal and spatial resolution from data acquired in a single breath hold. The method allows for the quantitative assessment of inflammation in the heart.
