T2 prep (b0), trace DW, trace ADC, CINE at end systole, and late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) images of the two slices that contained the infarct and remote regions. Images of the remote regions illustrated no statistically significant changes including the T2 prep image for the infarct slice. In the infarct slice, the trace DW showed a sharp decrease while the trace ADC depicted an increase (red arrows). In the similar region, the LGE image is hyperintense and the CINE image at end systole shows a thin wall that is akinetic. Note the sharp decrease in trace DWI demonstrates that bulk motion corruption is minimal since the myocardium is akinectic in the infarcted region (which would result in a relative increase in trace DWI).
