Clinical Study

Visualization of Chronic Myocardial Infarction Using the Intravascular Contrast Agent MS-325 (Gadofosveset) in Patients

Figure 1

Transmural LGE detected with the extracellular CAs in long-axis and short-axis view (a and b) compared with MS-325 LGE (c and d). Both CA show a clear contrast between the enhanced area and the surrounding normal myocardium. However, blood pool signal is brighter for MS-325 related to higher relaxivity and vascular retention.
