Excerpt

Myocardial tissue characterization with both native T1 mapping and T1 mapping following gadolinium based contrast agents (T1 enhanced) has emerged as an important asset of CMR imaging [1]. However, there is only minimal experience in pediatrics [2]. Native T1 has shown to be a marker of myocardial edema, and may play a role in pathologic states such as myocarditis [3]. T1 enhanced mapping has shown to be a useful biomarker for disease sates with diffuse fibrosis, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and is comparable to myocardial biopsy [4]. …
