Identification of edema and necrosis in a patient with acute myocardial infarction. (a) End-diastolic reference image of a midventricular slice in which 2-point bSSFP, native T1-mapping, and LGE data were acquired. (b) LGE imaging reveals an area of hyper-enhancement along the septum indicative of edema and/or necrosis (red arrow). The corresponding maps of (c) ΔS/So, and (d) native-T1 both demonstrate similar spatial patterns of elevated values to LGE (red arrow). The corresponding T2-map and windowed bSSFP image can be found in Additional file 1: Figure S2
