The peri-infarct edema can be depicted with a HASTE-TIRM sequence in addition to the non-viable infarct zone. The HASTE-TIRM sequence shows a higher transmurality of the hyperintense regions than the CE-MRI. The additional area depicted by the HASTE-TIRM sequence could represent functionally impaired but viable myocardium).
Additionally to the AP and PP, a delayed phase should be performed when cirrhosis is present. Even though AP and DP depicted all HCC's in this study, the PP provides undispensable additional information, so that, in our opinion, a THCT should be given preference when HCC is suspected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
