“…METHODS: Advanced (stage IV) systemic cancer patients with and without C(MET) matched (1:1) by cancer etiology underwent a standardized CMR protocol. C(MET) was identified via established LGE-CMR criteria based on lesion enhancement; enhancement pattern was further classified as heterogeneous (enhancing and non-enhancing components) or diffuse and assessed via quantitative (contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR); signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)) analyses. …”
