Fig. 4

Myocardium at risk (MaR) by CE-SSFP at various time points after contrast agent administration. The upper row shows CE-SSFP at the end-diastolic (ED) time-frame and the bottom row at the end-systolic (ES) time-frame. The green line denotes epicardium, the red line endocardium and the white line MaR. Note that there is no change in the extent of MaR over time. Note also that there is a hypointense core within MaR at 3 min not visible at later timepoints. This could be due to slower contrast filling to this area, possibly because of microvascular obstruction
