Abstract

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging has enhanced noninvasive evaluation and management of patients with several forms of cardiovascular disease. The role is increasing due to its improved soft tissue contrast, capacity to perform multiplanar reconstructions, and ability to visualize and quantify cardiac function without the use of ionizing radiation. Phase contrast imaging allows for velocity and flow assessment, as well as gradient estimation, providing important diagnostic information for structural and valvular disorders. Catheter-based interventions under magnetic resonance rather than fluoroscopic guidance are currently under investigation. As percutaneous cardiovascular intervention becomes more complex, the need for enhanced soft tissue visualization without ionizing radiation will allow for the expansion of magnetic resonance–guided intervention.
