Native T1-mapping detects the location, extent and patterns of acute myocarditis without the need for gadolinium contrast agents

Background: Acute myocarditis can be diagnosed on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) using multiple techniques, including late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging, which requires contrast administration. Native T1-mapping is significantly more sensitive than LGE and conventional T2-weighted (T...
