Viability assessment with hybrid FDG PET/MRI. A FDG PET/MRI (viability protocol with glucose loading) was performed in a mid-aged man early after acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction with occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. The inferior wall and the basal part of the anterior wall demonstrate no late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and a normal FDG uptake and are therefore PET/MRI vital. The remaining parts of the heart in this two-chamber-view demonstrate transmural LGE with subendocardial microvascular obstruction in the anterior wall and almost absent FDG uptake and are therefore judged PET/MRI non-vital
