The linear correlations between ex vivo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and bifunctional staining. The myocardial infarction (MI) measured by global (left) and slices (right) on ex vivo delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging corresponded well with area at risk by red iodized oil-staining (above) and digital radiography (bottom), confirming the bifunctional staining with RIO dye could successfully delineate and characterize the AAR. MIeDE: Myocardial infarction ex vivo delayed enhancement; AARRIO-staining: Area at risk on red-iodized oil-staining; AARDR: Area at risk on digital radiography.
