(A) Patient 7 with incorrect diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Short axis STIR showing asymmetrically increased wall thickness in the posterior left ventricular wall. (B) Patient 9 with incorrect diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. 4-chamber STIR showing relatively larger RV size in comparison to LV. (C) Patient 6 with incorrect diagnosis of pneumonia. STIR image through lung and heart showing appearance of lung consolidation with associated collapse bilaterally.Back to article page
