File:Acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction (Radiopaedia 68409-77945 Short axis (basal) Perfusion 16).jpg

Summary:

• Radiopaedia case ID: 68409
• Image ID: 49019531
• Image stack position: 16/50
• Plane projection: Short axis (basal)
• Aux modality: Perfusion
• Study description: Perfusion and viability module (Gadolinium first pass and LGE)
• Study findings: First pass or perfusion images: subendocardial perfusion defect (absence of signal, dark or black) in LAD territory. Late gadolinium enhancement: depicts transmural infarction (transmural hyperintensity, bright or white), also shows "no reflow" phenomenon (endocardial rim of absence of signal even in LGE images). Revascularization has a poor outcome in transmural infraction (considered non viable tissue) and the presence of "no reflow" phenomenon has poor prognosis.
• Modality: MRI
• System: Cardiac
• Findings: Anterior and septal akynesia. Pericardial effusion.
