Myocardial hemorrhage according to low signal intensity regions on T₂^*-weighted MRI in 55 images matched with pathology.

	Low signal intensity area	No low signal intensity area	Adjusted
Hemorrhage (n=37)	35	2	95% (86 - 100%) sensitivity

No hemorrhage (n=18)	1	17	94% (88 - 100%) specificity

	97% PPV	90% NPV

Of 80 T₂*-weighted MRI acquisitions, 55 were of diagnostic quality and 35 were affected by posterior field artefacts. MVO – microvascular obstruction, PPV – positive predictive value, NPV – negative predictive value.
