Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has been demonstrated to be highly specific in differentiating viable from scarred myocardium in patients with ischemic left ventricular dysfunction. The aim of this study was to compare PET imaging with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ceMRI) in patients with ischemic myocardial dysfunction, analysing semiquantitatively the amount of non-viable myocardial tissue.
