a–c Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with T1 mapping in a female breast cancer survivor, treated with anthracyclines. Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) is a non-invasive measurement of diffuse myocardial fibrosis and can be calculated from the haematocrit; pre-contrast (a), post-contrast (b) T1 maps. In this patient, the ECV map (c) reveals diffuse elevated ECV values up to 42% (normal is <28%), in particular in the septal segments, reflecting widespread myocardial fibrosis after anthracycline exposure
