From: Chronic iron deposit and left ventricular remodeling in reperfused STEMI patients
LGE, T2*, T2 and T1 maps in a patient with an anterior STEMI. Black arrows show the presence of MVO with IMH. The MVO has disappeared on the follow-up scan leaving chronic iron deposition as indicated by a persistent hypo-intense core on T2* scan and areas of normal T2 values (black arrow). Adjacent the areas of iron deposition are areas of high T2, which may indicate a reactive inflammatory response.
