a Patient 1 week post left anterior descending artery infarction with extensive, anterior wall, transmural, mid-ventricle late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on T1-weighted images (left column), homogeneous myocardial T2 ∗ values before erumoxytol (middle column), but intense dark ferumoxytol uptake in the region of the infarction 24 h post ferumoxytol infusion (right column). b Same patient with anteroapical, transmural LGE, again homogeneous T2 ∗ myocardial values at base, but clear ferumoxytol uptake on T2 ∗ scanning in the region of the LGE 24 h after ferumoxytol infusion.
