Figure 2From: Black blood late gadolinium enhancement using combined T2 magnetization preparation and inversion recoveryIn-vivo results for the proposed BB-LGE compared with a conventional LGE sequence in the same subjects and slices. a) Two healthy subjects, where the proposed sequence successfully nulled both the myocardium and the blood pool. b) Example short-axis and long-axis slices from one infarct patient demonstrating suppression of LV blood signal with retention of the infarct enhancement, which facilitate the delineation of the scar territory, when compared to regular LGE.Back to article page
