From: Native T1-mapping detects the location, extent and patterns of acute myocarditis without the need for gadolinium contrast agents

Figure 4

T1-mapping located small areas of myocardial injury (red) when T2W and LGE imaging were negative. This figure shows computer-aided analyses of CMR images from three representative cases of Group III patients (edema-, LGE-) with small rises in Troponin I. T1-mapping detected small focal areas of injury in 6 out of the 7 patients in this group, in at least 2 contiguous short-axis slices or 2 orthogonal planes that were not due to artifacts or poor T1 fit. Green contour marks the positioning of reference region of interest (ROI). Skeletal muscle ROI for T2W images not shown.
