Abstract
Background Occult myocardial scar is known to be a predictive factor of poor prognosis in the diabetes patients. The purposes of this study are to evaluate through an exploratory substudy the accuracy of delayed-enhancement CT (DE-CT) for detecting occult myocardial scars (OMS) and to evaluate the transmurality of OMS using DE-CT compared with delayed enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes.

The purposes of this study are to evaluate through an exploratory substudy the accuracy of delayed-enhancement CT (DE-CT) for detecting occult myocardial scars (OMS) and to evaluate the transmurality of OMS using DE-CT compared with delayed enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes
The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of DE-CT for detecting OMS was evaluated in comparison with DE-MRI both at patient and segment level
