In 11 patients, the dual-IR and IR sequences were compared for late gadolinium enhancement imaging of atrial wall scar 3 months after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. The dual-IR sequence at 20 minutes post-contrast produced a two-fold higher inter-observer correlation for post-ablation atrial scar size measurements compared to the IR sequence at 25 minutes.
