Schematic drawing of contrast agent distribution. The contrast agent distributes passively in the extracellular space, indicated in yellow. In reperfused infarction (right), the tissue distribution volume is increased compared with viable myocardium. This is mainly due to loss of cellular membrane integrity and to some extent related to edema. RBC, red blood cell. Adapted with permission from Arheden H, Saeed M, Higgins CB, et al.
