Abstract
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a developing field with enormous potential because of its major attributes of high image quality and resolution combined with non-ionising radiation and versatility. With recent major technological advances, there have been great improvements in acquisition speed and quality that makes the use of CMR in a wide range of cardiac conditions robust and valuable. This article reviews the fundamentals of CMR and its current clinical applications.
