FIG. 1

The infarcted regions could readily be detected on CMR images as an area with increased uptake of gadophrin. The upper row shows a basal slice without any infarct, and the lower row demonstrates an apical slice of the same animal with visible infarct. On the radionuclide images the corresponding infarcted regions resulted in decreased tracer uptake (see Fig. 2, lower row.) a: CMR. b: SPECT. c: PET. d: TTC. Arrows depict the extent of the infarct. Infarct sizes in this rat were 16.1% by MRI, 14.9% by SPECT, 13.2% by PET, and 15.6% by TTC.
