T2-weighted cardiovascular MR imaging measures the area at risk and refines the understanding of gadolinium-enhanced myocardium and pathophysiology in acute myocardial infarction.
Does T2-weighted cardiovascular MR imaging have clinical and pathophysiologic value in acute myocardial infarction?
T2-weighted cardiovascular MR imaging is valuable for measuring the area at risk and understanding the pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction.
Mounting evidence indicates that T2-weighted images can be used not only to measure the area at risk but also to refine our understanding of gadoliniumenhanced myocardium in the setting of acute myocardial infarction, as well as the pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction in general.
Arai et al. (2012) studied this question. T2-weighted cardiovascular MR imaging measures the area at risk and refines the understanding of gadolinium-enhanced myocardium and pathophysiology in acute myocardial infarction.
