Different techniques for myocarditis assessment with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging: T2 STIR sequences reveal areas of myocardial edema in acute setting (panel a); T1 and T2 mapping techniques improved detection of myocardial edema and inflammation (panel b,c); perfusion imaging and early enhancement can be used to detect hyperemia condition (panel d,e); late gadolinium enhancement sequences confirmed acute myocardial inflammatory damage and assessment of myocardial fibrosis (panel f).
