Does quantitative analysis of cine MR images accurately determine localization and extent of regional left ventricular dysfunction in an infarcted pig heart model compared to Gd-DTPA-enhanced spin-echo MR imaging and pathology?
Quantitative analysis of cine MR images using the centerline method accurately localizes and assesses the extent of regional left ventricular dysfunction in a pig model of myocardial infarction.
