3. Conclusion

In experimental models, the use of23Na MRI is an appropriate tool for the determination of infarct size as well as extra- and intracellular23Na content. As stunned and hibernating myocardium show no increased23Na content, the method could be used for discrimination of viable from non-viable myocardium.
