From: CMR-based assessment of myocardial edema in the setting of ischemia and reperfusion
Representative T2 maps, T2-STIR images and LGE images acquired at different study time points from a canine subjected to I-R injury are shown. During ischemia, a small amount of edema was evident on both T2 maps and T2-STIR images (red arrows). Post-reperfusion, extensive edema could be observed at the site of infarction (seen on LGE images; red arrows) on both T2 maps and T2-STIR across days 2, 5 and 7. Edema appeared to have completely regressed by day 56.
