Figure 1

Myocardial scars visualization in a patient with anterior myocardial infarction. Sharp visualization of myocardial scars is obtained when IT-SN is applied (d) with respect to the uncorrected dataset (a), and as shown in the zoomed sections in b and e (red arrows). Furthermore, visualization of calcified structures, which are not detectable in the uncorrected dataset (c) become visible after the application of IT-SN (f). A comparison between uncorrected dataset (g) and IT-SN corrected dataset (h) is reported in short axis view; in this case, conventional 2D PSIR is also shown (j); again, image quality improves when IT-SN is applied (g and h, red arrows), and image quality of the 3D acquisition approaches that of the more conventional 2D PSIR method (h and j, green arrows).
