A novel black-blood pre-pulse is described that darkens intraventricular blood pool signal in late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) imaging of myocardial scar. The pre-pulse is m₁-nulled motion-sensitized driven equilibrium (m2MSDE) with user-specified motion-sensitizing direction. The pre-pulse nulls blood signal while maintaining good myocardial image quality. Preliminary results are described.
