Abstract

The initial exploratory studies into the potential use of echo-planar imaging (EPI) to study the heart were carried out by the pioneers of the technique, Mansfield and his group at the University of Nottingham. As early as 1982 Ordidge and colleagues [63] first demonstrated the potential of the method by “freezing” the motion of the heart while imaging the thorax of a rabbit. The work was carried out at a field strength of 0.094 T, acquiring a 32×32 data matrix in 32 ms, and the heart could be seen with varying signals from blood in the cardiac chambers at different times in the cardiac cycle. Only one year later the first clinical findings were reported using the same technique to investigate three young infants with different cardiothoracic diseases [72]. Further clinical development of the same system later allowed more detailed studies enabling rapid assessment of infants with congenital heart disease [8, 9].
