A novel magnetic resonance imaging technique to assess tissue viability following acute myocardial infarction, simultaneous T1 and T2* signal intensity monitoring following bolus injected contrast agent

This study was designed to determine whether injured myocardium can be identified by simultaneously monitoring contrast-induced T1 and T2* signal intensity changes with an interleaved T1-T2* imaging sequence and to compare these results to techniques that calculate relaxation rate following contras...
