Assessment of Cardiac Sarcoidosis with Advanced Imaging Modalities

Figure 2

Imaging and inflammation cascade. In this schematic representation of disease progression, the infection point is represented by inflammation, edema, and fibrosis. Granuloma formation (a), ¹⁸F-FDG PET of myocardial inflammation (b), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of myocardial edema (c), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of myocardial fibrosis (d) are shown. ¹⁸F-FDG PET: ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography.
