Figure 1 Multi-detector computed tomography scan of a pig 1 week after myocardial infarction. The different tissue densities of the infarct scar and the sub-endocardial rim of viable tissue are clearly apparent. The sub-endocardial rim has a density similar to the myocardium outside the infarct zone. The relative densities in Hounsfield units (HU) are also represented. MSC = mesenchymal stem cell.
