Figure 2 Clinical example of a comprehensive cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scan (total scan time 35 minutes) in a patient with remote inferior myocardial infarction. (A) Three short-axis views from a contiguous stack of cine loops with contours for quantitative measurements. Left: Basal (upper), mid (middle) and apical (lower) still frame in diastole with subendocardial contours for end-diastolic left ventricular (LV) volume. Right: Still frames of the same cine loops at end-systole with subendocardial contours for systolic LV volume and calculation of stroke volume and ejection fraction and subepicardial contours for LV mass measurement. (B) Six rotational long-axis views with contours for quantitative measurements (angular difference between orientations: 30°). Upper: End-diastolic frame with subendocardial contours for end-diastolic LV volume. Lower: Still frames of the same cine loops at end-systole with subendocardial contours for systolic LV volume and calculation of stroke volume/ejection fraction and subepicardial contours for LV mass measurement. (C) Edema-sensitive image without apparent myocardial edema, indicating absence of acute myocardial injury. (D) Late gadolinium-enhanced frame with largely transmural bright signal intensity of the inferolateral segment, indicating myocardial infarction.
