Representative examples of pre- and postcontrast T1 maps with corresponding LGE images in SSc and controls. Top panel (A): normal control with no LGE, native T1 947 ms, postcontrast T1 514 ms, ECV 26.7%; Second panel (B): SSc patient with linear septal and patchy basal inferolateral LGE, native T1 1001 ms; postcontrast T1 453 ms; ECV 33.7%; Third panel (C): SSc patient with small areas of mid-wall inferior and lateral LGE, native T1 988 ms, postcontrast T1 439 ms, ECV 36.1%; Fourth panel (D): SSc patient with no LGE, native T1 1017 ms, postcontrast T1 421 ms, ECV 39.4%. LGE, late gadolinium enhancement. Note the scale change between precontrast and postcontrast T1 maps.
