Figure 5

Representative consecutive myocardial perfusion images, after bolus injection of polylysine (poly)–Gd-DTPA. in the double-oblique short-axis view of one canine heart during mild LAD occlusion (ICP = 50 mm Hg) and hyperemia. The temporal resolution is one second per image. After injection, the heterogeneous distribution of the blood pool contrast agent across the anterior part of the septum, anterior wall, and anterior papillary muscle (black arrows) can be observed. This is especially pronounced around the endocardial layers at the anterior papillary muscle (white arrow) and anterior wall, with high signal intensity in the epicardium and low intensity in the endocardium, due to hypoperfusion. LV = left ventricle, RV = right ventricle.
