Figure 25a.

Intramyocardial hematoma in a 60-year-old man with a history of MI. Recent echocardiographic findings (not shown) were suggestive of expanding posterior wall intramyocardial hemorrhage and dissecting intramyocardial hematoma after an acute MI. (a) Short-axis phase-sensitive inversion-recovery LGE image shows a transmural MI (*), with an area of nonenhancing intramyocardial hematoma (arrow). Pericardial effusion is also depicted (arrowhead). (b) Coronal CT image shows contrast material infiltration into the myocardial wall (arrow). Moderate pericardial effusion (*) is present. LA = left atrium, RA = right atrium.
