"The more traditional approach for assessing myocardial area at risk with T2/STIR and T2 and T1 mapping techniques are founded on the assumption that post-infarct myocardial oedema also reflects reversibly injured myocardium respectively the area at risk ⁹."

Line 8:153 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-infarct'.

"The myocardial area at risk can be assessed by different means in cardiac magnetic resonance, including T2W/STIR imaging, T2 mapping, T1 mapping, early gadolinium enhancement, contrast-enhanced steady-state free precession and extracellular volume (ECV) imaging ⁹ as well with SPECT ^10,11 and angiographic scores ^12,13."
