Abstract

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for the assessment of myocardial viability compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with chronic myocardial infarction (CMI). Methods and material Twenty-six patients were prospectively enrolled, who underwent DECT and MRI at delayed phase. The infarct volumes for DECT and MRI were measured. Results In per-segment and per-vessel analysis, DECT showed excellent diagnostic performance compared with MRI (diagnostic accuracy: 86.2%, 81.2% respectively). In volume analysis, DECT correlated well with MRI (r = 0.966, p < 0.0001). Conclusions DECT has excellent diagnostic performance for detecting CMI.
