tomographyA recent study has shown the potential value of cardiac CT as an alternative to CMR for tissue characterization based on late iodine enhancement [84]. This study showed spectral CT to have good accuracy in the evaluation of inflamed myocardium in acute myocarditis, with typically subepicardial late iodine enhancement (Fig. 3), enabling acute coronary syndrome to be ruled out with coronary CTangiography during the same examination.
