Representative images of three different patients with TV-ICDs using three LGE pulse sequences. Yellow arrows point to image artifacts caused by the device. Both wideband LGE pulse sequences consistently produced better image quality than standard LGE sequence. For patient 1 average rater conspicuity and artifact scores were 3.3 and 3.2 for standard segmented LGE, 4.7 and 4.8 for wideband segmented LGE, and 4.4 and 4.4 for wideband single-shot LGE. For patient 2 average rater conspicuity and artifact scores were 1.7 and 1.7 for standard segmented LGE, 4.8 and 4.8 for wideband segmented LGE, and 3.9 and 4.4 for wideband single-shot LGE. For patient 3 average rater conspicuity and artifact scores were 2.9 and 3.0 for standard segmented LGE, 4.9 and 4.8 for wideband segmented LGE, and 4.5 and 4.5 for wideband single-shot LGE. For patient 3, the TI for wideband single-shot LGE was sub-optimally chosen by a clinical technologist. TI: inversion time.
