Figure 3 Contrast-enhanced CMR images. (a) First image = long-axis view after the first intervention; second image = long-axis view after the second intervention, with enlarged contrast accumulation; third image = long-axis view with planned short-axis orientation; fourth image = short-axis view showing a high signal intensity in the chronic infarction (arrowhead) and a lower, but still high, signal intensity in the acute infarction (arrow). (b) T2-weighted images: short-axis view after the first intervention (left) and short-axis view after the second intervention (right). In contrast to the chronic infarction (arrowhead), the acute infarction shows a very high signal (arrow).
