May improve image metrics in MI; hypothesis-generating for diagnostic utility, pending outcome trials.
Does a three-dimensional MRI technique improve image quality metrics (CNR, SNR, SIR) compared to a two-dimensional technique in patients with myocardial infarction?
Three-dimensional MRI for myocardial-delayed hyperenhancement provides significantly better image quality metrics (CNR, SNR, SIR) than conventional two-dimensional MRI in patients with myocardial infarction.
