Fusion of MCODE T1 and T2 data: DICOM images from MCODE sequences can be loaded into a free open source software, OsiriX Imaging Software. From the MCODE sequence, the T2-weighted image is fused with the PSIR image with the Image Fusion function. No manual registration of the images is necessary since they were acquired during the same breath hold. When fused, the grey-scale T2-weighted image is then converted to the PET color look up table and overlays the grey-scale PSIR image. The image is then windowed and leveled to display areas with low T2 signal intensity (myocardium) to appear as dark red, and areas with high T2 signal intensity (blood pool) to appear as bright yellow.
