Magnetic resonance imaging as a noninvasive method offers diagnostic and prognostic information in myocarditis. T1 mapping techniques aim to overcome the limitations of late gadolinium enhancement to assess diffuse fibrosis and inflammatory infiltrates. Using an established animal model of myocarditis, the aim of this study was to measure myocardial T1 before the onset, and in the acute and chronic stages of the disease and to compare its course with histological and immunohistochemistry findings. …
