Figure 7 Different imaging modalities of a heart subjected to 1 h of coronary artery occlusion and 24 h of reperfusion at the same anatomical level: (A) T1-weighted spin echo MRI, (B) IR-EPI, (C) postmortem TTC stain. Four minutes after injection of GdDTPA-albumin, the reperfused infarcted anterolateral wall (arrowheads) is heterogeneously enhanced (A), has a longer T1 value as compared to normal myocardium (B) and is TTC-negative (white) with hemorrhage (dark zone) (C).
