: The cohorts included in the current study were previously reported on in the following publications:Tahir E, Sinn M, Bohnen S et al (2017) Acute versus Chronic Myocardial Infarction: Diagnostic Accuracy of Quantitative Native T1 and T2 Mapping versus Assessment of Edema on Standard T2-weighted Cardiovascular MR Images for Differentiation. Radiology 285 1:83–91.Bohnen S, Radunski UK, Lund GK et al (2017) Tissue characterization by T1 and T2 mapping cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to monitor myocardial inflammation in healing myocarditis. Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging 18 7:744–51.However, the current study focuses on two distinct subpopulations. These are patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (N = 20) and „infarct-like “ myocarditis (N = 20). Moreover, while the two previous studies addressed quantitative assessment of infarcted and inflamed myocardium using novel T1 and T2 mapping, the current study evaluates different CMR techniques in terms of their qualitative ability to visually differentiate the different patterns of myocardial injury (ischemic vs. non-ischemic).
