Controversies in Cardiovascular MR Imaging: Reasons Why Imaging Myocardial T2 Has Clinical and Pathophysiologic Value in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Mounting evidence indicates that T2-weighted images can be used not only to measure the area at risk but also to refine our understanding of gadoliniumenhanced myocardium in the setting of acute myocardial infarction, as well as the pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction in general.
