Figure 1 Acute reperfused myocardial infarction can be assessed accurately with delayed-enhancement multislice computed tomography (DE-MSCT) and delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) compared with postmortem triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) pathology. The left ventricle is shown from base (Slice 1) to apex (Slice 6). The MSCT images represent 1-mm slices compared with the photographed TTC pathology slices and the MRI slices of 8 mm.
