A series of short-axis images with varying inversion times (TI) (Look-Locker scan) in a subject with myocardial scar, acquired at ten minutes post-injection. The blood pool, viable myocardium, and myocardial scar each reach their own nulling point at different TIs. Note that for conventional bright-blood late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) the TI is set to null viable myocardium (blue arrow in frame 9, TI = 248 ms), while for dark-blood LGE the TI is set to null the blood pool (orange arrow in frame 5, TI = 150 ms)
