Background Hybrid Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance (PET-MR) allows the advantages of MR in tissue characterizing the myocardium to be combined with the unique metabolic insights of PET. We hypothesized that the area of reduced myocardial glucose uptake would closely match the area-at-risk (AAR) delineated by T2-mapping in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.
