Sarcoidosis

48-year-old man (patient 5) with myocardial involvement of acute sarcoidosis. Contrast-enhanced turbo FLASH images in horizontal (A), vertical (B), and short-axis (C) orientation show clearly defined late enhancement (LE) in large parts of left ventricle myocardium. Mainly, LE presents transmural extent. Basal parts of septum, however, show subendocardial LE. Note subepicardial LE with unenhanced subendocardial layer in anterior and anteroseptal regions in panel C.
