"Focal myocardial fibrosis has a delayed gadolinium contrast wash out. So hyperenhancement indicates a myocardial scar, thus an evolved myocardial infarction."
"White blood imaging involves gradient echo sequences and steady-state free precession MRI (SSFP). In practice, the difference between the two is that SSFP is less vulnerable to the T2* effect."
