Abstract

There was a consistent cyclic variation due to fat in anterior, inferior and lateral segments. [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Figure 2 Examples from two acute MI patients with inferior infarcts, microvascular obstruction and myocardial hemorrhage. A marked negative phase is well depicted in the phase images and easily identified outside of the normal range using ROI analysis. [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Conclusions High pass filtered myocardial phase is small and normally varies by anatomical myocardial segment and echo delay time.
