Fig. 2

MRI appearances of normal papillary muscles. a Two-chamber vertical long-axis SSFP MRI through the left ventricle shows the anterolateral (straight arrow) and posteromedial (curved arrow) papillary muscles. b Short-axis SSFP MRI image shows the anterolateral (AL) and posteromedial (PM) papillary muscles. c Short-axis SSFP MRI image shows the technique for measuring papillary muscle mass. The papillary muscles have been contoured (blue) in end-diastolic image to derive papillary muscle mass. The endocardial (green) and epicardial (yellow) contours are also seen
