Cardiac amyloidosis. Top: Inversion recovery curves for the subset of patients with cardiac amyloidosis markedly altered gadolinium kinetics (left). Selection of the TI in this subset can often be confusing because, effectively, all the myocardium is abnormal and the null time for myocardium is shorter than blood. In this scenario, selecting an inversion time that null blood highlights the amyloid infiltration, and the regions with greater involvement have higher image intensity (right). Bottom: A TI scout can be used to quickly identify the presence of markedly altered gadolinium kinetics and to aid in the selection of the initial TI selection to null blood
