Abstract
Background Inversion recovery (IR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is generally used for post-contrast infarct detection in the myocardium. Novel technological advancements allow for the generation of synthetic IR images based on the pixel-bypixel T1 values. Theoretically, synthetic IR images can be retrospectively generated at any inversion time (TI). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of synthetic phase-sensitive IR (PSIR) images for the quantification of myocardial LGE. Methods

There was excellent agreement in the detection of myocardial infarction between the two techniques. In this project we have shown the feasibility of LGE detection and quantification using synthetic PSIR images
