Figure 2 ceMRI and Strain Imaging in Transmural Infarction
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ceMRI) image (left), color-coded short-axis radial strain images at end-systole (middle), and radial strain tracings (right) for 1 cardiac cycle obtained from the same short-axis view in a patient with akinesia of the septal wall. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging indicates transmural infarction with more than 50% hyperenhancement. The tracings for the evaluated segments within the circumference demonstrate a low peak negative systolic radial strain of the septal wall. The segment demonstrated no functional recovery after coronary bypass surgery.
