Figure 1

the reconstructed magnitude images of a representative slice in the short axis view of an in-vivo pig heart at an inversion time of 180 ms. A and B are reconstructed results from REPCOM and COSEP respectively. The bright rims along the wall of left ventricle indicated the infarct region. For COSEP, weighted total variation is locally applied to the area indicated by the box on B. C is the IR-FGRE image that corresponds to the representative slice. E shows two profiles from both REPCOM and COSEP, plotted across the dashed lines indicated in B. Following the in-vivo study, the pig was sacrificed 10 minutes after another injection of Gadolinium-DTPA of 0.1 mmol/kg and was then scanned using conventional 3D MCLE with an isotropic resolution of 1.5 mm. D shows the image corresponding to the representative slice acquired using conventional 3D MCLE in the in-situ study.
