T2-Weighted Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Edema in Myocardial Diseases
Figure 8
Comparison between myocardial edema (white) and scarring (dotted) in the myocardium. (a) At the acute stage of ischemic or inflammatory cardiomyopathy, myocardial edema is associated with smaller myocardial scarring or its absence. (b) In some types of nonischemic cardiomyopathy, myocardial edema is smaller than the scarring, indicating relapsed ischemia.
