The late gallium enhancement (LGE) image showing an expression amount having a significant difference for improvement wall motion or not is estimated from contrast enhancement area in patients with cardiovascular disease. However, left ventricle blood (LVB) with contrast wash-out can have similar T1 value to scar, and a fabrication sub-endocardial scar is often deluded as LVB. The phase sensitive inversion recovery balanced steady state free precession (PSIR-bSSFP) is possible to obtain black blood and contrast enhancement image. Our study of PSIR-bSSFP was propose BB-LGE that feasible visualize of myocardial hyper-enhancement area with LV blood suppression.
