Figure 5 Diastolic (A) and systolic (B) cine magnetic resonance images show thinned myocardium with a lack of systolic wall thickening in an animal with chronic myocardial infarction. The inversion recovery turbo fast low angle shot sequence shows no enhancement 24 h after injection of gadophrin (C), whereas the infarcted myocardium (arrows) appears bright following the injection of gadolinium diethylene-triamino-penta-acetate (D).
