Figure 3. — Examples to illustrate high agreement between LGE and contrast agent–free VNE for the visuospatial distribution and transmurality of myocardial scar. A through D, Three short-axis slices of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and virtual native enhancement (VNE) images of the same patient are shown on the left (color masks were used to depict areas of scar as orange and noninfarcted myocardium as dark blue); on the right, scar transmurality measured by LGE and VNE is shown, suggesting the likelihood of myocardial viability (0 to 25%, viable; 26% to 50%, likely viable; 51% to 75%, likely nonviable; 76% to 100%, nonviable). Dashed lines delineate presumed boundaries between myocardial territories. Arrows point to the areas of scar. LAD indicates left anterior descending artery; LCx, left circumflex artery; and RCA, right coronary artery.
