Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) is an assessment made with CMR imaging that includes gadolinium contrast administration. The test is done to assess for gadolinium contrast material accumulation in the tissue with increased extracellular space to determine both left and right ventricle fibrosis (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5801263/). For LGE, the assessment relates to the timing of the reading showing whether or not the contrast is present or not at the specific time of the reading (would be determined by the protocol but typically is noted approximately 10 minutes after contrast injection). If the LGE is noted as present, more assessments may be done such as presence per segment and the percentage of presence per segmentThis example dataset shows the findings associated with a Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging procedure related to late gadolinium enhancement.

The Procedures (PR) dataset is an interventions domain that represents diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic activity. The PR dataset shows the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with two different MR machines.
