Quantitative cardiac magnetic resonance standardized signal intensity comparison in dilated cardiomyopathy vs. cardiac sarcoidosis
Patients with CS exhibit higher affinity for contrast in the septum, particularly on the RV endocardium. Standardized analysis of CMR signal intensities provides a novel, quantitative method for distinguishing CS from DCM, with the former exhibiting higher CMR signal intensity z-scores in the septum.
