Bright-blood vs. dark-blood T2*-weighted CMR in canines with hemorrhagic MI. Representative bright- and dark-blood T2*-weighted and LGE images from canines with hemorrhagic MI in the acute and chronic phase of MI at 1.5 T (A) and 3 T (B) are shown. Both raw and processed (details in text) images are shown with the processed images delineating the regions of hemorrhage (T2*-weighted images) and MI (LGE) territories. C is magnified representation of the IMH detected on bright-blood and dark-blood T2*-weighted images at 1.5 T in acute and chronic phases. Arrows point to the regions where hypointensity is seen in bright-blood but not in dark-blood images
