Iterative process for TI selection. After the acquisition of the initial LGE image, operators should adjust the TI based on the appearance of the myocardium. In particular, adjustments are imperative when the TI is set too short. Based on the imaging characteristics seen on the initial image, the TI should be adjusted (typically in small increments of 25–50 ms) accordingly. Using this iterative process, the optimal TI can usually be identified with 2–3 test images
