Figure 2 Contrast enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CeCMR), histology and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images obtained in an animal with a medium sized infarct. There is a nearly perfect match between necrosis defined by histology and ceCMR. Whereas ceCMR allows the exact assessment of the transmural extent of infarction, SPECT defines segments as either viable or non‐viable. Reproduced with permission from Wagner et al.9
