Figure 1.
Steady-state free precession (SSFP) cine sequence at end-diastole acquired as vertical (A) and horizontal (C) long axis view showing representative measurements of the thickness of the compact myocardium (white double arrows) and the thickness of trabeculation (black double arrows) in 8 regions: mid-cavity anterior (E1), mid-cavity inferior (E2), mid-cavity septal (F3), mid-cavity lateral (F4), apical anterior (E5), apical inferior (E6), apical septal (F7), and apical lateral (F8). Inserted images (B, D) show the respective corresponding imaging plane on a short axis view (double white line). Transition zone (white arrow in A) between papillary muscle (bold white arrow in A and C) and trabeculation. Chemical shift artifact (white arrow in C).
