Demonstration of cardiac involvement of sarcoidosis by contrast-enhanced multislice computed tomography and delayed-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
Delayed-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has recently been shown to be effective in detecting cardiac sarcoidosis. Two cases in which contrast-enhanced multislice computed tomography imaging clearly identified the localization and extension of cardiac sarcoidosis as delayed-enhanced MR imaging are presented.
