myocardium has been noticed in some dynamic contrast‐enhanced MR perfusion studies.
The artifact is thought to be due to susceptibility effects from the gadolinium bolus, motion, or
resolution, or a combination of these. Here motionless ex vivo hearts in which the cavity was
filled with gadolinium are used to show that dark rim artifacts can be consistent with
resolution effects alone. Magn Reson Med, 2005.© 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
