Figure 3 End-diastolic (A) and end-systolic (B) spatial modulation of magnetization images of canine left ventricle in an apical location in the region of ischemia. Loss of contraction is demonstrated in a region of diastolic wall thinning (arrow) as well as in an adjacent region with normal diastolic thickness (arrowhead) by lack of normal systolic wall thickening and lack of normal stripe deformation.
