Axial MRI through mid ventricle using white blood imaging algorithm, in a 66 year old male with mild dyspnea, shows mild left ventricular (LV) enlargement (LVE) with an internal diameter of 5.3cms (normal 4.5cms) (top left), normal sized left atrium (LA) approximating the size of the normal aorta (Ao) with an ejection fraction of 43% and normal end diastolic volume (112 ccs) and normal LV mass (66gms/sq m)

Short axis MRI in a 66 year old male with mild dyspnea, post gadolinium infusion through mid ventricle using white blood imaging algorithm, shows linear enhancement in the mid myocardium of the septum (white arrows in b) consistent with congestive cardiomyopathy. Myocarditis is included in the radiological differential diagnosis.
