Validation of Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Monitor Regenerative Efficacy After Cell Therapy in a Porcine Model of Convalescent Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Contrast-enhanced MRI accurately measures scarred and viable myocardium after cell therapy in a porcine model of convalescent MI. MRI represents a useful tool for assessing dynamic changes in the infarct and monitoring regenerative efficacy.
