Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging findings. 1) (Video Files): Steady state free precession (SSFP) in 4-chamber and 2-chamber orientations. Notice the thinned and dyskinetic septal and inferior wall segments. 2) Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging scanned 10 min after 0.1 mmol / kg of Dotarem contrast. The images were obtained via T1 weighted SSFP, and presented as phase sensitive inversion recovery, in basal short axis (A), 4-chamber (B), and 2-chamber (C) orientations. White arrows refer to areas of LGE corresponding to myocardial injury. Notice the pericardial LGE (yellow arrow) suggestive associated pericarditis (C). 3) T2 map obtained using T2 prepared steady state free precession sequence. Normal T2 values for our 1.5 Tesla scanner is 42–52 ms
