  Figure 1 Pretreatment images. (A) T2-weighted cardiac MRI showing LV apical thickening marked with white asterisk. (B) Hypointense thrombus (marked with white asterisk) adjacent to LV apex on T1-weighted image after contrast administration. LV = left ventricular; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging.

• 

  Figure 2 Posttreatment images. (A) T2-weighted cardiac MRI showing disappearance of LV apical thickening and thrombus (left ventricle). (B) Fat-saturated T1-weighted cardiac MRI after contrast administration showing disappearance of LV apical thickening and thrombus (left ventricle). LV = left ventricular; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging.
