Relation Between Signal Intensity on T2-Weighted MR Images and Presence of Microvascular Obstruction in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction
American Journal of Roentgenology, 09/22/09

Mikami Y et al. – With T2–weighted MRI, infarction–associated edema can be reliably detected in infarct lesions without microvascular obstruction. Microvascular obstruction, however, does not necessarily exhibit high signal intensity on T2–weighted MRI. Careful attention is required in interpretation of cardiac MR images of patients who have experienced acute myocardial infarction and undergone percutaneous coronary intervention. The findings on T2–weighted MR images can be substantial underestimates of the extent of acute myocardial infarction.
