Does non-enhanced and enhanced CT scanning without ECG gating accurately detect and size myocardial infarction in dogs compared to post mortem examination?
Non-enhanced and enhanced CT scanning without ECG gating can detect large transmural myocardial infarctions and accurately estimate infarct size in a canine model.
