Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) is the noninvasive gold standard for focal fibrosis, parametric mapping with and without contrast-media enable detection of diffuse fibrosis. We developed a non-rigid registration method to superimpose LGE images and T1-Maps allowing for pixel-wise comparison of LGE extent and abnormal T1 times. We observed significantly larger regions of ECV, T1 native and post-contrast abnormalities than LGE positive areas. However, LGE was not always completely covered by abnormalities of any of the mentioned parameters.
