What is Multicontrast Delayed Enhancement Provides Improved Contrast Between Myocardial Infarction and Blood Pool about?
## Abstract ## Purpose To develop and test a delayed‐enhancement imaging method for improving the contrast between myocardial infarction (MI) and blood pool. ## Materials and Methods The T~2~ of blood is significantly longer than that of acute or chronic MI. The proposed multicontrast delayed‐enhancement (MCODE) imaging method produces a series of images with both T~1~ and T~2~ weightings, which provides both excellent contrast between normal and infarcted myocardium, and between blood and MI. ## Results The subendocardial border between MI and blood pool was easily discriminated in the T~2~‐weighted image. The measured MI‐to‐blood contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR) was better in the T~2~‐weighted image than in the T~1~‐weighted image (22.5 ± 8.7 vs. 2.9 ± 3.1, mean ± SD, __N__ = 11, __P__ < 0.001, for TrueFISP, and 19.4 ± 10.8 vs. 3.9 ± 2.3, __N__ = 11, __P__ < 0.001, for TurboFLASH). ## Conclusion The MCODE method provides a significant improvement in the ability to easily discriminate subendocardial MI by providing a T~2~‐weighted image with high contrast between blood and MI. MCODE should improve both the detection and accurate sizing of MI. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2005. Published b
