Anisotropy in infarct backscatter supports scar architecture assessment in animal models; human validation and clinical utility remain untested.
Ultrasonic backscatter demonstrates substantial anisotropy in infarcted myocardial tissue, allowing for quantitative characterization of the three-dimensional anatomic organization of mature infarct scars.
Wickline et al. (1992) studied this question.
