Figure 1From: 1029 Agreement of left ventricular mass in steady state free precession (ssfp) and delayed enhancement (DE) MR images: implications for quantification of fibrosis in congenital and ischemic heart diseaseThe global hyperenhanced region assessed by ex vivo DE-MRI is consistently larger than infarct size determined by TTC in the acute phase of reperfused ischemic myocardial injury. Thus, DE-MRI may overestimate myocardial infarct size in the acute phase.Back to article page
