Does MCODE improve the detection of myocardial infarction compared to standard LGE imaging in patients referred for CMR?
MCODE improves the detection of subendocardial myocardial infarction compared to standard LGE imaging by providing simultaneous T1 and T2-weighted images to better differentiate blood pool from enhanced myocardium.
