HIGHER SEMI-AUTOMATED GRAY-SCALE THRESHOLDS YIELD THE CLOSEST APPROXIMATION OF THE EXTENT OF LATE GADOLINIUM ENHANCEMENT IDENTIFIED WITH HISTOLOGICAL SCAR BURDEN IN PATIENTS WITH HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY

Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) enables estimation of scar burden in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, quantitative methods vary with recent data suggesting that higher semi-automated LGE gray-scale thresholds above the mean signal intensity for
