Three-dimensional late gadolinium enhancement increases the diagnostic yield of cardiovascular magnetic resonance to detect low voltage in the right ventricular outflow tract

ConclusionCMR using 3-D LGE techniques showed an increased power to diagnose structural abnormalities. This technique may be a better choice in initial stages of RVOT disease.
