Abstract

Purpose: To compare contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) in the evaluation of myocardial viability. Methods: [18F]-FDG-PET, [201Tl]-TlCl-SPECT and contrast-enhanced MRI were performed in 29 patients with proven coronary artery disease and impaired left ventricular function to assess myocardial viability. MRI scans were done on a 1.5 T scanner (Magnetom Sonata, Siemens, Germany). After the steady-state free precession cine study, 0.2 mmol/kg BW of Gd-DPTA (Magnevist
