Myocardial Fat Deposition in Segements with Infarction Detected with Water-Fat Separation Imaging

James W. Goldfarb¹, Margeurite Roth¹, Jing Han¹

There is a high prevalence of fat deposition in chronic myocardial infarction detected by water-fat separation MR imaging. MR imaging is capable of fat and infarction detection and could be useful in determining the functional cause and significance of fatty deposition after left ventricular myocardial infarction.
