Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine how often myocardial infarctions are retrospectively visible on conventional, non-gated, non-cardiac computed tomography (CT) scans. Our goal was to evaluate a cohort of patients with myocardial infarctions visible on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine how often the area of infarction was retrospectively visible by preceding, conventional CT. We also sought to evaluate how often the diagnosis of myocardial infarction was reported at the time of initial study review.
