Gd-enhanced mid-ventricular image of the mouse heart 1 day after MI, showing enhanced infarct region (A) with corresponding thresholded infarct region (D). Same slice T2w spin echo image (B) with corresponding thresholded edema (E). Same slice T2w T2prep image (C) with corresponding thresholded edema (F). Comparison of detected infarct and edema region areas over Days 1 through 4 post-MI for each imaging method.
