VNE and LGE image quality assessment on 346 test materials (124 patients).A, VNE provides significantly better image quality, as assessed by 4 blinded operators and their average scores (all P<0.001). For cases with “uninterpretable” (red clusters) or “poor” (blue) LGE images, VNE provides superior imaging quality in all but 1 case (dashed line). B, Examples of image quality improvement by VNE, which has more consistent appearance and defined borders. Arrows point to the LGE artefacts. LGE indicates late gadolinium enhancement; and VNE, virtual native enhancement.
