From: 3D-Dixon cardiac magnetic resonance detects an increased epicardial fat volume in hypertensive men with myocardial infarction

Figure 1

(A-D) show the Dixon image analysis of epi-and pericardial fat in a 61 year old hypertensive male patient with known 1-vessel disease of the left anterior descendent artery, but without myocardial infarction: (A) reconstructed water only image. (B) and (C) reconstructed fat only image with the pericardial outlines. (D) computed fat-fraction map based on fat- and water-only images (with the transferred regions of interest). (E and F) show fat only images of a 67 year old health man (E) and of a 64 year old hypertensive man with known 3-vessel disease and myocardial infarction (F) with the arrows pointing at the pericardial outlines.
