Fig. 7From: The emerging role of magnetic resonance imaging and multidetector computed tomography in the diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathySmall thrombus in the LV apex in a male patient with a moderately dilated cardiomyopathy. Vertical long-axis SSFP cine MRI (left), contrast-enhanced MRI early after contrast medium administration using a long inversion time (i.e. 550 ms) (right). The thrombus is hardly visible on cine MRI (left) but is well depicted as a hypointense rounded nodular structure on the contrast-enhanced image (right)Back to article page
