| Popis: | Cardiac computed tomography showed a hypodense area in the apex of the left ventricle in a 57-year-old man with a history of anterior myocardial infarction three years earlier. To confirm or rule out a suspected thrombus, he underwent gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, contrast-enhanced two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, and three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. Multimodality imaging ruled out the presence of a thrombus. |
