Authors' conclusion

HMI cannot be reliably detected with T1, T2, or T2∗ on 3.0-T CMR immediately after reperfusion. However, T2∗ CMR can be used to diagnose hMI between 24 hours and 7 days postreperfusion. T2 maps at 3.0-T are a strong alternative to T2∗ maps for diagnosing hMI, provided CMR is performed 5 to 7 days postreperfusion. However, diagnosing hMI with T1 is significantly more challenging at 3.0-T compared with both T2∗ and T2.
