MRI characterizes myocardial tissue in all its states
By Shalmali Pal
Three MRI studies have taken a closer look at the myocardium in various conditions -- healthy, infarcted, and fatally injured. British investigators evaluated ranges for longitudinal spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) in healthy myocardium, while German radiologists compared turboFLASH to TrueFISP in myocardial infarction. And Japanese researchers illustrated how postmortem myocardial MRI and CT can guide autopsy, particularly when the cause of death is uncertain.
