Figure 4. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in T2-weighted short inversion time inversion recovery (T2w-STIR) sequence demonstrating caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA). CCMA (arrow) is localized in the posterior region of the mitral annulus and the basal segment of the left ventricle. CCMA has no signal in the central part (black area) and high signal intensity in the envelope of the lesion compared with the surrounding myocardium.
