Transcript 
Positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) for identifying scar tissue and viable myocardium in an early postinfarction patient.
Subendocardial scar tissue (left panel, arrows) associated with 18F-FDG activity in the adjacent mid-myocardial layer (center panel) on hybrid 18F-FDG
PET and late gadolinium enhancement MRI. N-13 ammonia myocardial perfusion images obtained after reperfusion demonstrate an only mild perfusion
defect (right panel). The regionally enhanced 18F-FDG uptake likely reflects viable myocardium, although postischemic inflammation cannot be excluded.
