From: SSFP cine images early post-gadolinium improve detection of myocardial oedema in acute myocardial infarction compared to T2-weighted dark blood turbo spin echo images

Figure 1

Top left: Short axis T2-weighted dark blood TSE image showed oedema in mid lateral wall of left ventricle. Top right: Short axis T2-weighted dark blood TSE image. Oedema ratio showed oedema in the mid lateral wall (blue) compared to the relative normal myocardium (green). Bottom left: Short axis post-gadolinium SSFP image showed corresponding oedema in mid lateral wall. Bottom right: Short axis post-gadolinium SSFP image highlighted the oedema area by semi-automated software using 2 standard deviation of mean normal myocardium.
