Clinical Value of Myocardial Contrast Delayed Enhancement With Multidetector Computed Tomography

Clinical Value of Myocardial Contrast Delayed Enhancement With Multidetector Computed Tomography

We read with great interest the article by Sato et al. (1) that valuated the prognostic value of myocardial contrast delayed nhancement with 64-slice multidetector computed tomography MDCT) after acute myocardial infarction. They should be ommended for conducting the study elegantly. However, a few nteresting points arise from the analysis that we believe may be ertinent and should be answered....

Early and Delayed Myocardial Enhancement in Myocardial Infarction Using Two-Phase Contrast-Enhanced Multidetector-Row CT

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the myocardial enhancement patterns in patients with myocardial infarction using two-phase contrast-enhanced multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-three patients with clinically proven myocardial infarction (17 acute myocardial infarction [AMI] and 6 chronic myocardial infarction [CMI]) were examined with...
