Excerpt

Myocardial oedema has been described as a marker of prognosis in ischaemic heart disease and CMR is able to characterise this using T2-weighted sequences. The inherent low signal to noise ratio of these sequences and low contrast between normal and abnormal myocardium makes quantification technically challenging. We therefore compared 5 methods of analysis in patients following reperfused ST-elevation MI. …
