To demonstrate that myocardial infarctions can be visualized on non-ECG-synchronized, contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). Myocardial infarctions are visible on contrast-enhanced MDCT scans even when cardiac gating is not utilized. Focusing on myocardial enhancement should allow radiologists to play a greater role in the evaluation of cardiac disease.

Dynamic and functional imaging techniques are being developed to improve the evaluation of various pathologic processes of the head and neck region. These techniques include dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging for evaluating soft tissue masses and cervical lymph nodes, the use of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide contrast agent, and functional techniques such as in vivo and in vitro MR spectroscopy of head and neck cancer and lymph nodes and apparent diffusion coefficient mapping of parotid glands. These techniques can help to differentiate nonmalignant tissue from malignant tumors and lymph nodes and can aid in differentiating residual malignancies from postradiation changes. From methodological development, they are making the critical transition to preclinical and clinical validating methods and eventually to widespread clinical tools.
