Comparison of synthesized LGE images with actual LGE images. Synthesized inversion recovery images (a) compared with actual inversion recovery images (b) with the same inversion delay plus 20 ms of three different patients. The first patient is the same as in Figs. 5-7 (slice 13). The actual IR-TFE images show pathologies in a similar way but have higher resolution and more slices than the synthesized IR images. The inversion delay was optimal in all three cases based on the prediction of the synthetic images.
