Figure 2From: Contribution of reperfusion hemorrhage to T2 and T2* CMR in the quantification of hemorrhage extent and area-at-risk after acute myocardial infarctionRepresentative short-axis images from a patient who underwent a CMR exam at 48 hrs post percutanious coronary intervention (PCI). Early gadolinium enhancement demonstrates a large transmural infarction with MVO in the left circumflex territory (c). The T2* map (a) quantified intramyocardial hemorrhage as hypointense regions (d) while the T2 map (b) identified hypointense regions (e) within the area-at-risk (AAR) shown in (f).Back to article page
