Abstract
Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) deploying late gadolinium-enhanced inversion-recovery (IR) sequence is today’s standard reference for myocardial infarction evaluation. However, the conventional IR sequence can yield poor image contrast between infarct and intracavity blood pool which complicates precise endocardial border delineation. This compromises accurate infarct size determination and small subendocardial infarct detection. Peel et al. 2012 found that a dual IR prepulse outperformed
