Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Increased Left Ventricular Wall Thickness. Panel a: T2 mapping; Panel b: late gadolinium enhancement imaging. Panel 1—midmyocardial short axis view; 2—horizontal long axis view; 3—three chamber long axis view; 4—vertical long axis view. A Patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with myocardial edema/inflammation in the septal and inferior walls (Panel a1–a4; black arrows) and prominent midmyocardial nonischemic fibrosis in the basal to mid septal and inferior walls (Panel b1–b2, b4; white arrows). In addition, there is infarct scar along the basal to mid lateral walls (Panel b2–b3; asterisks). B Patient with cardiac amyloidosis with myocardial edema/inflammation in the septal, inferior and lateral walls (Panel a1–a4; black arrows) with diffuse late gadolinium enhancement throughout the left ventricle (Panel b1–b4; white arrows). T2-prepared bSSFP pulse sequence with the use of rectangular T2 preparation pulse utilized to acquire T2 maps during diastole (1.5 T MAGNETOM Sola, Siemens Healthineers)
