We report a marked abnormality in myocardial attenuation on non-gated contrast-enhanced CT in a patient with multiorgan sarcoidosis and correlate our findings with CMR, PET and SPECT. The noteworthy observation of myocardial hypoattenuation, in correspondence with the multimodality cardiovascular imaging findings, suggests that standard contrast-enhanced CT may provide information regarding tissue characterization. This report also demonstrates the independent clinical utility of CMR and PET in the evaluation and management of cardiac sarcoidosis.
