In Vivo Quantification of Myocardial Infarction in Mice Using Micro-CT and a Novel Blood Pool Agent

Figure 5

Signal enhancement in the blood at 15 min postinjection and in the myocardium at 210 min postinjection at different doses of the injected contrast agent. The dashed line indicates the noise measured in soft tissue given the imaging protocol described herein and might be different for other scan protocols or system configurations.
