MO/ infarct size in patients with MO on cine imaging not detectable on late enhancement imaging compared to patients with MO on both SSFP and LE imaging.

<p>MO/ infarct size in patients with MO on cine imaging not detectable on late enhancement imaging compared to patients with MO on both SSFP and LE imaging.</p

Cine and LGE imaging after 6 and 14.5 minutes respectively.

<p>Both images (A and B) show a well demarcated hyperintense midventricular inferolateral myocardium with a subendocardial located crescent shaped hypointensity representing myocardial infarction with MO (arrows: MO size, dotted arrows: infarct size).</p

Bland-Altman plot for ES infarct size indicate that differences between the tests are consistent and the majority of them are within the 1.96 SD intervals.

Comparison between MO on early cine SSFP and LGE.

<p>A) Cine imaging performed 4 minutes after contrast medium injection. A demarcated crescent shaped hypointensity representing MO in the midventricular inferior myocardium. B) LGE imaging 19 minutes after contrast medium injection. Hyperenhanced midventricular inferior myocardium missing MO at an identical slice position compared to cine imaging (see arrows for comparison).</p

Typical MO appearance on early cine SSFP imaging at the same slice position during the cardiac cycle (A-E).

MO with different imaging methods.

<p>Early enhancement 9 min after contrast agent: A) Cine SSFP B) IR GE imaging and C) PSIR. Late enhancement 23 min after contrast agent: D) Cine SSFP E) IR GE imaging and F) PSIR. Note the comparable extent of MO with SSFP and IR imaging at each time point, but the greater extent of MO at early imaging (A-C) compared to late imaging (D-F).</p
