ECV measured using manual ROIs drawn on T1 maps in a patient with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. a Four-chamber myocardial delayed enhancement CMR image shows absence of late contrast enhancement. b, c T1 maps using MOLLI; pre-contrast (b) and post-contrast (c) showing marked T1 shortening. The two T1 maps are combined with 1-haematocrit blood correction to calculate ECV. Haematocrit in this patient was 38 % and ECV 31 % (slightly elevated, reflecting diffuse fibrosis)
