PURPOSE: To develop and test a delayed-enhancement imaging method for improving the contrast between myocardial infarction (MI) and blood pool. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The T(2) of blood is significantly longer than that of acute or chronic MI. The proposed multi-contrast delayed-enhancement (MCODE) imaging method produces a series of images with both T(1) and T(2) weightings, which provides both excellent contrast between normal and infarcted myocardium, and between blood and MI. RESULTS: The subendocardial border between MI and blood pool was easily discriminated in the T(2)-weighted image. The measured MI-to-blood contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) was better in the T(2)-weighted image than in the T(1)-weighted image (22.5+/-8.7 vs. 2.9+/-3.1, mean+/-SD, N=11, P<0.001, for True FISP, and 19.4+/-10.8 vs. 3.9+/-2.3, N=11, P<0.001, for Turbo FLASH). CONCLUSION: The MCODE method provides a significant improvement in the ability to easily discriminate subendocardial MI by providing a T(2)-weighted image with high contrast between blood and MI. MCODE should improve both the detection and accurate sizing of MI. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2005. Published by Wiley-Liss, Inc.
