Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for individual lateral wall native and post-contrast T1 mapping biomarker measurements and LVEF from a binomial logistic regression classifier in the task of distinguishing between boys with DMD from healthy controls (a), LGE− boys with DMD from healthy controls (b), and LGE− from LGE + boys with DMD (c). In all classification tasks, T1-mapping biomarkers outperform a conventional biomarker, LVEF. When non-contrast biomarkers (native T1 and LVEF) are combined, the classification model improves for all three classification tasks, compared to the performance of each biomarker alone. ECV is the best performing biomarker in the task of predicting LGE status
