Delayed
enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is frequently used to detect
and quantify the size of myocardial infarction. In this study we demonstrate
the feasibility of 3D late enhancement imaging in a mouse model on a clinical
1.5T whole body MR scanner and compare the obtained results with 2D sequences
as used for clinical applications and histologic sections.
