Embodiments provide a noninvasive quantitative method for detecting extent and/or types of fibrosis in the heart. In embodiments, information pertaining to the extent and/or types of fibrosis may aid in the diagnosis of specific cardiac diseases and heart failure and/or may assist in determining suitable treatment options. Embodiments provide methods and apparatuses for determining the extent of fibrosis in viable and nonviable myocardium, which may then be correlated to heart disease and failure. Thus, in an embodiment, a method of screening individuals for the purpose of heart disease or heart failure prevention may be provided using the detection methodology described herein.

L'invention concerne un procédé quantitatif non invasif de détection de l'ampleur et/ou des types de fibrose dans le cur. Dans des modes de réalisation, les informations concernant l'ampleur et/ou les types de fibrose peuvent aider au diagnostic de maladies cardiaques spécifiques et de l'insuffisance cardiaque et/ou peuvent aider à déterminer les options thérapeutiques appropriées. L'invention concerne des procédés et des appareils de détermination de l'ampleur de la fibrose dans un myocarde viable et non viable qui peut ensuite être corrélée à la maladie cardiaque et l'insuffisance cardiaque. Par conséquent, dans un mode de réalisation peut être proposé un procédé de dépistage d'individus dans le cadre de la prévention de la maladie cardiaque ou de l'insuffisance cardiaque en utilisant le procédé de détection décrit ici.
