Figure 6. Spatial Assessment of Recent Ischemia With Molecular Imaging.

Figure 6

Relation between risk area determined by fluorescent nanospheres and region of enhancement during molecular imaging at either (A) 90 min or (B) 3 h. Regression line colors correspond to their respective data points; red dashed line = line of identity; p < 0.05 only for 90-min correlations. (C) Example of a myocardial short-axis section illustrating the nanosphere-derived risk area in the anterior myocardium (dark region), two-dimensional high-frequency imaging as an anatomic reference, and myocardial contrast echocardiography molecular imaging with MBYSPSL obtained 90 min and 3 h after left anterior descending coronary artery ischemia-reperfusion injury. Cavity size differences are due to postmortem contracture. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
