Delayed myocardial enhancement MRI is a valuable tool for diagnosing and differentiating ischemic from non-ischemic cardiomyopathies based on specific enhancement patterns.
Delayed myocardial enhancement MRI is a highly valuable but non-specific imaging technique that is ancillary in the diagnosis of a variety of diseases including myocardial viability, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis and other infiltrative myocardial processes. The lack of specificity stems from the wide variety of differential diagnoses that may present with overlapping patterns of delayed enhancement. Many of these differential diagnoses have been presented and discussed in this article.
