MR Assessment of Acute Pathologic Process after Myocardial Infarction in a Permanent Ligation Mouse Model: Role of Magnetic Nanoparticle-Contrasted MRI

Figure 6

Scatterplot of infarction lesion size based on MRI (sector-based method) and histology (length-based method). There is a significant correlation of infarct size between MRI and histology results. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients () and values are () for LGE (◯), and () for MEMRI (). The dotted line represents the identity line. The infarct size was measured at the mid-ventricular level in 6 mice.
