Cine-cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images in a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy and extensive anterior scar illustrating the extent of the generator artefact. Balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP)-based cine-images in a left ventricular (LV) 2-chamber (a), 3-chamber (b) and 4-chamber view (c) with artefacts in the inferolateral and apical wall segments. After switching to spoiled gradient echo (GRE)-based cine-CMR the aforementioned artefacts disappeared completely in this patient without any relevant artefact in the region of interest
