Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that provides evidence of acute myocardial inflammation by showing myocardial edema on T2-based imaging and myocardial injury on T1-based imaging. Pericardial effusion and abnormal wall motion are also supportive characteristics of myocarditis.2,3 … ER -
