Prospective comparison of novel dark blood late gadolinium enhancement with conventional bright blood imaging for the detection of scar

Abstract Background Conventional bright blood late gadolinium enhancement (bright blood LGE) imaging is a routine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) technique offering excellent contrast between areas of LGE and normal myocardium. However, contrast between LGE and blood is frequently poor. Dark...
