Fig. 5From: MRI evaluation by T1 mapping of the post-myocardial infarction left ventricular thrombusSize limitation of T1 mapping measurement of LV thrombus. Old laminar apical small LV thrombus (arrow) hardly recognized on T1 mapping sequence in a 72-year-old male patient with STEMI on left coronary artery 6 months ago. Central illustration: Thrombus T1 mapping leads to thrombus age. T1 mapping value of LV thrombus increases with age as its fibrous components grow inBack to article page
