Aims Conventional late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance can
detect myocardial infarction and some forms of non-ischaemic myocardial fibrosis. However …

Background Diffuse myocardial fibrosis, and to a lesser extent global myocardial edema, are
important processes in heart disease which are difficult to assess or quantify with …

Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance techniques permit quantification of the
myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV), representing a surrogate marker of reactive …

Purpose of review This review article discusses the evolution of extracellular volume (ECV)
quantification using both cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether extracellular volume
fraction (ECV) can reliably inform on the extent of diffuse fibrosis in the simultaneous …

Background Myocardial extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve) measures quantify
diffuse fibrosis not readily detectable by conventional late gadolinium (Gd) enhancement …

Abstract Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance is increasingly used to differentiate the
aetiology of cardiomyopathies. Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) is the reference …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to perform direct quantification of myocardial
extracellular volume fraction (ECF) with T1-weighted cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) …

Background Disturbances in the myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV), such as
diffuse or focal myocardial fibrosis or edema, are hallmarks of heart disease. Diffuse ECV …

Abstract Background Gadolinium (Gd) Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) by
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) has been proposed as a non-invasive method …
