@entity4128 ( @entity4128 ) is a @entity296 characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, @entity1165 , and @entity67 that affects primarily the right ventricle (RV). This disease is not common but can be seen more frequently in young adults, and clinical manifestations range from no symptoms to lethal @entity943 and @entity944 . The diagnosis of @entity4128 is challenging and is based on the recently revised international task force criteria. Given the strengths of cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for depicting the RV, this modality plays an important role in the diagnosis of @entity4128 . Functional and structural @entity854 with cardiac MR imaging constitute major and minor criteria in the revised task force criteria. Since the @entity4128 program was established at our center in 1998, there has been an increased awareness of a number of normal variants that are commonly misinterpreted as showing evidence for @entity4128 . On the basis of our clinical experience, the overdiagnosis of @entity4128 appears to reflect two fundamental problems: (a) a lack of awareness of diagnostic criteria that identify major and minor variables to be used for the diagnosis of @entity4128 , and (b) a lack of familiarity with the normal variants and mimics that may be misinterpreted as showing evidence of @entity4128 . The purpose of this article is to review the typical patterns of ventricular involvement in @entity4128 at cardiac MR imaging and to compare those with the patterns of normal variants and other diseases that can mimic @entity4128 . Online supplemental material is available for this article.   RSNA, 2014.
