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.
