Abstract

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance has emerged as an important clinical tool in the last decade. Technical advances in cardiothoracic MR imaging have expanded from a primary tomographic imaging modality to a dynamic one. Today it is possible to acquire high-resolution imaging of ventricular function, valvular motion, and myocardial perfusion. In addition, cardiac MRI is now considered the “gold standard” for the assessment of regional and global ventricular function, myocardial infarction, delayed enchancement, and congenital heart disease.

Cardiac MR offers several advantages over other diagnostic imaging methods. First, it does not use ionizing radiation. Second, it provides additional diagnostic information about tissue characteristics. Finally, MRI provides three-dimensional (3D) images many desired plane.

In the past, cardiac MR was primarily a research tool, and scans for clinical purposes were rare and performed primarily for pathologies such as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and cardiac neoplasms.
