Abstract
With the advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology that have occurred in recent years, it is possible to examine the myocardial status with high spatial and temporal resolutions in the evaluation of ischemic heart disease. The purpose of this article is to review the current status and the role of MRI for the evaluation of myocardial infarction. We discuss the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction, MRI techniques for the evaluation of myocardial status, and the pathophysiological significance of MR signal changes observed in various MRI techniques. We conclude that, with further development of MR techniques and contrast agents, MRI will play an increasing role in the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 1999;10:686-693.
