Gray blood late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance for improved detection of myocardial scar

Abstract Background Low scar-to-blood contrast in late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) MRI limits the visualization of scars adjacent to the blood pool. Nulling the blood signal improves scar detection but results in lack of contrast between myocardium and blood, which makes clinical evaluation of LGE ima...
