MANGANESE-ENHANCED T1 MAPPING IN MYOCARDIAL VIABILITY: VALIDATION WITH 18F-FDG PETMR

Manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) holds promise in myocardial viability assessment, quantifying infarct and detecting altered calcium-handling. We aimed to validate MEMRI against 18F-FDG positron emission/computed tomography (PET/CT). Male Sprague-Dawley rats (180-300g) underwent coronary artery
