Excerpt

The diagnostic performance of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in suspected myocarditis is still limited. Recently, CMR T1 and T2 mapping has been suggested to yield excellent diagnostic accuracies in patients with suspected myocarditis as compared to healthy controls. However, the true diagnostic performance of CMR mapping when compared to endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) and the impact of CMR field strength in patients with a variety of pathologies is still unknown and was therefore assessed in this study. …
