Images from Applied Radiology, MRI viability imaging for cardiomyopathies by Prabhakar Rajiah,MD and Scott Flamm,MD

Abstract: MRI plays an important role in managing patients with cardiomyopathy by determining the presence or extent of ischemic scar or interstitial fibrosis using viability imaging. Delayed Enhancement MRI is an excellent technique for accurate, reproducible detection and quantification of myocardial scar.
