Identification of scar tissue in chronic myocardial infarction. (a) Magnitude reconstructed bSSFP image reveals a thinned wall along the inferior right ventricular insertion point (red arrow). (b) LGE imaging confirms the presence of primarily sub-endocardial scar tissue as an area of signal enhancement (red arrow). Mapping of (c) ΔS/So and (d) native-T1 both reveal increased values within the scar tissue (red arrows), and normal values throughout the remaining myocardium
