Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) is a diagnostic technique employed in cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to highlight areas of fibrosis or scarring within the heart muscle. This method utilizes the unique properties of gadolinium-based contrast agents to enhance the visibility of regions with altered tissue composition. LGE is particularly valuable in identifying and characterizing myocardial infarctions, inflammatory cardiomyopathies, and various other cardiac conditions. By acquiring images after a delay following contrast injection, LGE enables clinicians to pinpoint areas of delayed contrast uptake, aiding in the precise localization and assessment of pathological changes within the myocardium. This non-invasive imaging technique has become an essential tool in the field of cardiology, providing crucial insights for both diagnosis and treatment planning.
