Full left ventricular coverage is essential for the accurate quantification of the area-at-risk by T1 and T2 mapping

  Figure 1. Performance of the full LV coverage versus 3-slice approach for the T2-based AAR. (a) The correlation between the 2 approaches; (b) The Bland-Altman plot.

  Figure 2. Performance of the full LV coverage versus 3-slice approach for the MI size. (a) The correlation between the 2 approaches; (b) The Bland-Altman plot.

  Figure 3. Performance of the 3 approaches for the T2-based MSI. Box and whisker plots of the MSI by T2 using full LV coverage for both the MI size and AAR; 3-slice approach for AAR and full LV coverage for the MI size; and 3-slice approach for both the MI size and AAR. The MSI using 3-slice approach for AAR and full LV coverage for the MI size resulted in negative MSI in 7 patients.

  Figure 4. Correlation between the MSI derived by the 2 approaches, subdivided by MSI above or below 0.50. The dotted lines represent the line of identity. The dashed lines represent the lines passing through 0 on the x and y-axis.

  Figure 5. Performance of the full LV coverage versus 3-slice approach (both for the AAR and the MI size) for the MSI. (a) The correlation between the 2 approaches; (b) The Bland-Altman plot.

  Figure 6. Matching T2 maps, T1 maps and LGE images of a patient with an inferior STEMI. This figure shows the selection of 3 slices (basal, mid and apical) of T2 maps, T1 maps and LGE images from the full LV coverage images of a patient with an inferior STEMI, and with the 3-chamber view as reference.
