Short-axis CMR images in a 16-year-old patient with myocarditis showing a midwall (arrows) and subepicardial (dashed arrows) distribution of increased signal intensity in the left ventricle.
Panel A: T2-weighted image.
Panel B: T1-weighted early gadolinium enhancement.
Panel C: Late gadolinium enhancement. (Note: The area of high signal intensity in the superior region [arrowhead] represents fat).
