Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging techniques for myocardial tissue characterisation. (Left) cine movie imaging for left ventricular function (4-chamber view at end-diastole). (Middle) Oedema imaging using dark-blood T2-weighted CMR. Short-axis image of the ventricles. Note LV myocardial signal intensity compared to skeletal muscle signal intensity is >1.9, consistent with global myocardial oedema. (Right) Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. Normal myocardium is black. Red arrow points to a mid-wall scar in the inter-ventricular septum, typical of non-ischaemic type scarring.
