T2-Weighted Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Edema in Myocardial Diseases
Figure 10
66-year-old male who has undergone cryoablation for ventricular tachycardia associated with chronic myocardial infarction. Delayed-enhancement MRI (a) visualizes apical myocardial scarring with various transmurality (arrows). T2-weighted MRI (b) shows myocardial edema after ablation (arrow), where nontransmural scarring has been seen in the delayed-enhancement MRI.
