Late Defect on Delayed Contrast-enhanced Multi–Detector Row CT Scans in the Prediction of SPECT Infarct Size after Reperfused Acute Myocardial Infarction: Initial Experience

Abstract

Late defect on multi-detector row CT scans indicates residual perfusion SPECT defect and infarct size after successfully reperfused MI, with sensitivity of 93%, specificity of 100%, and accuracy of 94%.
