<br/><br/> Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a powerful diagnostic tool for the evaluation of cardiac diseases through the use of Gd-based contrast agents. In the setting of myocardial scar due to infarction, the inversion-recovery cardiac MR technique allows visual identification of the extent of myocardial scar compared with normal myocardium. In case of diffuse fibrosis, the inversionrecovery cardiac MR technique is unlikely to reveal the presence of diffusely abnormal tissue given the lack of normal myocardium as a reference. Direct measurement of myocardial T1 time (2T1 mapping3) may improve on these methodologic problems of LGE
