Fig. 1A.70-year-old man 1 day after acute myocardial infarction (MI).
Axial contrast-enhanced chest CT images obtained at level of heart show
sharply demarcated area of decreased enhancement in lateroposterior wall of
left ventricle in location of acute MI.

Axial contrast-enhanced chest CT images obtained at level of heart show
sharply demarcated area of decreased enhancement in lateroposterior wall of
left ventricle in location of acute MI.
Fig. 2A.50-year-old woman 3 days after acute myocardial infarction
(MI). Axial contrast-enhanced chest CT images obtained at level of heart show
sharply demarcated area of decreased enhancement in lateral wall of left
ventricle in location of acute MI.

(MI). Axial contrast-enhanced chest CT images obtained at level of heart show
sharply demarcated area of decreased enhancement in lateral wall of left
ventricle in location of acute MI.
Fig. 3A.40-year-old man 2 days after acute myocardial infarction
(MI). Axial contrast-enhanced chest CT images obtained at level of heart show
sharply demarcated area of decreased enhancement in left ventricular apex and
apical septum in location of acute MI.

sharply demarcated area of decreased enhancement in left ventricular apex and
apical septum in location of acute MI.
Fig. 4A.72-year-old man 12 days after acute myocardial infarction
(MI) that was detected quantitatively but not visually. Contrast-enhanced
chest CT image of heart shows subtle decrease in enhancement of left
ventricular apex in location of acute MI. Area of decreased attenuation was
not detected visually.
Fig. 4B.72-year-old man 12 days after acute myocardial infarction
(MI) that was detected quantitatively but not visually. Contrast-enhanced
chest CT image of heart obtained at same level as A shows Hounsfield
unit values placed along interventricular septum, apex, and lateral walls of
left ventricle.
