T2 quantification for improved detection of myocardial edema

Table 6 Results from the porcine model of acute myocardial infarction.

Pig #	Infarcted segment T2 (ms)	Remote segment T2 (ms)	p-value (one-sided)
1	83.6 ± 10	58.4 ± 7.2	< 0.001
2	83.5 ± 11	58.6 ± 4.5	< 0.001
3	80.4 ± 6.8	51.1 ± 5.6	< 0.001

In each animal, T2 in the infarcted segment was significantly higher (p-value < 0.001) than the T2 of the remote viable segment.
