AB  - Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) has become the primary tool for 
      the non-invasive assessment in patients with suspected myocarditis, especially 
      after exclusion of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) for the differential diagnosis. 
      Various MRI parameters are available which have different accuracies. Volumetric 
      and functional ventricular assessment and the occurrence of pericardial effusion 
      alone demonstrate only a poor sensitivity and specificity. The calculation of the 
      T2-ratio (edema assessment), the early or global relative myocardial enhancement 
      (gRE) and the late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), which represents irreversibly 
      injured myocardium, are more specific parameters. All MRI parameters demonstrate 
      the best accuracy in infarct-like acute myocarditis, whereas in chronic 
      myocarditis sensitivity and specificity are less accurate. Therefore, a 
      multisequential (at least two out of three parameters are positive) approach is 
      recommended. The assessment of the value of newer, more quantitative MRI 
      sequences, such as T1 and T2-mapping is still under investigation.
