From: T2 quantification for improved detection of myocardial edema
Animal study results. T2 maps from three pigs are shown in the top row and LGE images from two of the three pigs in the bottom row. Note that the LGE image for pig #2 was acquired in a slightly more basal slice position than the T2 map, but nevertheless demonstrates the expected myocardial infarction in the LAD territory. Pig # 3 died before the LGE image could be acquired, but 90 minutes of LAD occlusion virtually assures myocardial infarction.
