Table 2. Imaging techniques used to detect myocardial infarction.

MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; CT: computed tomography. Adopted from Thygesen et al. [20].

Imaging technique	Function
Echocardiography	Assessment of myocardial thickness, thickening, and motion at rest
Radionuclide imaging	Detects areas of infarction and perfusion abnormalities
MRI	Assessment of myocardial function
Contrast-enhanced CT	Detects areas of infarction
