Myocardial BOLD imaging at 3 T using quantitative <i>T</i><sub>2</sub>: Application in a myocardial infarct model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Left ventricular remodeling as a result of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with significant morbidity, leading to cardiovascular dysfunction, disability, and death. Despite successful revascularization, coronary vasodilatory dysfunction has been shown in infarcted and remote myocardium of patients following AMI. Our study explored the utility of a T(2)-based blood-oxygen-level-dependent approach in probing regional and longitudinal fluctuations in vasodilatory function in a porcine model of AMI at 3 T. Ten pigs underwent MRI in control state and at day 2, weeks 1-6 following 90 min occlusion followed by reperfusion. The remote myocardium exhibited vasodilatory dysfunction at weeks 1 and 2 that gradually recovered, whereas the infarct zone showed no vasodilatory alterations. Our study suggests that microvascular alterations occurring in infarcted and remote myocardium after AMI might serve as an indicator of adverse left ventricular remodeling. The blood-oxygen-level-dependent technique using quantitative T(2) could potentially be a useful noninvasive tool to evaluate novel therapeutic strategies aimed at limiting vasoconstriction and improving coronary flow reserve after AMI.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
