Which of the following is true regarding cardiac MRI
Ans. is 'b' i.e., Viable myocardium can be differentiated from infarcted myocardium.Infarcted myocardium appears hypointense on T1-MRI and hyperintense on T2-MRIViable myocardium can be easily differentiated from infarcted tissue.Prosthetic hea valves are a relative contraindications for MRI.Multislice CT is a better modality than cardiac MRI for the non invasive assessment of coronary aeries.
Infarcted myocardium is hypointense on T2-MRI
Viable myocardium can be differentiated from infarcted myocardium
Prosthetic hea valves are an absolute contraindication for MRI
It is better than CT for non-invasive assessment of coronary aeries
