Figure 1 Signal changes in the septal myocardial infarction in a follow-up detected by magnetic resonance imaging. (a) T2-weighted spin-echo sequences visualizing the edema. Sixty minutes after acute occlusion of the septal artery, there was no signal increase in the myocardium; the streaky artifacts visible adjacent to the septum and in the inferior parts in both ventricles are most likely due to slow flowing blood. (b) T1-weighted spin-echo imaging after gadolinium. Enhancment was detectable within 60 min of infarction.
