Figure 4 (A) Shows a mid-ventricular slice of myocardium clearly showing remote territories stained with Monastral blue dye and the unstained left anterior descending coronary artery territory. (B) Shows the corresponding multiplanar reconstructed image in short axis. Using semiautomated function/perfusion software (Toshiba, Inc.), myocardium meeting the perfusion deficit signal density threshold of one standard deviation below the remote myocardial signal density is designated in blue.
