Abstract

Good correlation and agreement with (201)Tl SPECT indicate DE MR imaging may be used to estimate infarct size 6 days after reperfused acute myocardial infarction. DE MR imaging is more sensitive for detection of inferior infarction than is (201)Tl SPECT. Patients with microvascular obstruction on FPE MR images have larger infarcts.
