Eosinophilic myocarditis is a disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the myocardium, consisting of acute necrotic stage, thrombotic stage, and fibrotic stage. Although T1 mapping has been increasingly used in various cardiac pathologies, there has been no report of T1 mapping in eosinophilic myocarditis. We report a case of 75-year-old female with eosinophilic myocarditis, whose cardiac magnetic resonance imaging included native T1 mapping, in which apical thrombi were distinctly seen as areas with decreased T1 values, next to areas of inflammation seen as increased T1 value in subendocardium.

- The study assessed the diagnostic effectiveness and imaging characteristics of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) affecting the rectosigmoid colon using CT colonography versus MRI.
- A total of 50 patients diagnosed with DIE underwent both CT and MRI before laparoscopic surgery, where the presence of rectosigmoid involvement was confirmed in 37 of them.
- Results showed that CT colonography had higher diagnostic sensitivity and specificity compared to MRI, especially for cases with complete cul-de-sac obliteration of endometriosis, indicating it may be a better tool for diagnosis in these scenarios.
