From: Non-invasive pediatric cardiac imaging—current status and further perspectives
(Tissue integrity assessment by T2 and LGE imaging): the capability of a non-invasive complete assessment of tissue integrity (edema yes/no, fibrosis yes/no) is one of the hallmarks of MRI. Healthy myocardium shows a dark (“hypointense”) signal in T2 imaging (first two images in the left upper row) as well as a dark signal in LGE imaging (right upper row LGE-SAX in IR and PS reconstruction; lower row—LV 2CV- and 4 CV-LGE)
