Popis: dial Infarctions in Sheep. Purpose: To correlate signal behaviour in T 1 - and T 2 -weighted images after Gd-DTPA with regional histopathology in occlusive myocardial infarction (Ml). Methods: Ligation of a diagonal branch of the LAD was performed in seven sheep. Four weeks later 0.1 mmol Gd-DTPA/kg were injected in five sheep 15 min before cardiac arrest and the sheep were slaughtered. In vitro imaging was performed at 1.5 T included T 1 - and T 2 -weighted spin echo sequences in long and short axis views. Signal intensities (SI) were determined in 36 myocardial segments per slice and compared to macro- and microscopy. Results: In all animals an antero-lateral infarct region was evident histologically. This region presented with increased T 2 SI and T 1 SI after Gd-DTPA. The number of segments with increased SI in T 1 -weighted images was higher (n=195 segments) compared to segments with increased T 2 SI (n=122 segments). Granulation tissue could be differentiated from rarely vascularized connective tissue at a high level of significance (p
