AHA 17-segment model
Basal 1–6 · Mid 7–12 · Apical 13–16 · Apex 17
Polar plot as in the AHA statement: anterior at the top, septum on the left, lateral wall on the right, apex in the center. The By wall report groups segments as anterior (1, 7, 13), septal (2, 3, 8, 9, 14), inferior (4, 10, 15), lateral (5, 6, 11, 12, 16) and apex (17).

Reporting LGE
LGE is described by segment, by the layer it involves (subendocardial, mid-myocardial, subepicardial or transmural) and by its extent through the wall thickness. Segments are reported only when scored; choose No LGE to state that a segment has no enhancement.
