We present an alternative method for evaluating cardiac fat tissue-dual gradient-echo in-phase and opposed-phase magnetic resonance imaging (IPOP-MRI) with electrocardiographic (ECG) gating. Conventional IPOP-MRI can be used to evaluate small amounts of fat and is widely used for abdominal imaging, but cardiac motion artifacts make its use difficult for cardiac imaging. Using ECG gating prior to IPOP-MRI, we evaluated lipomatous metaplasia after myocardial infarction. The areas of lipomatous metaplasia measured by IPOP-MRI with ECG gating correlated well with those areas on black-blood T(1)-weighted imaging (r=0.82, P<0.0001, mean bias-0.29 cm(2), limit of agreement+/-2.06 cm(2)).
