Figure 6From: T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance in acute cardiac diseaseT2 weighted imaging for detection of intramyocardial hemorrhage. A: T2 images showing a hypointense core indicating intramyocardial hemorrhage within the area of myocardial edema (arrow). Asterisks refer to inadequately suppressed blood signal ("slow flow artefact") B: Computer aided signal intensity analysis normalized to normal myocardium and to skeletal muscle (C). Contrast-enhanced image showing a transmural necrosis with a core of late microvascular obstruction (arrow) (D).Back to article page
