Cardiac MR imaging has been developing rapidly in the last few years and it will be another important imaging modality for a lot of cardiac conditions in the near future because of its non-invasiveness, without radiation, imaging in any desire plane, multiplanar reconstruction, cine ability to visualise motion and flow, good tissue contrast and multiphase imaging throughout the cardiac cycle.
Cardiac MR provide valuable information on :
- Cardiac anatomy
- Congenital heart disease.
- Visualise flow and cardiac movement
Cardiac functions like end-diastolic and end systolic volumes, ejection fraction, wall thickness and wall thickening
With the help of contrast, myocardial perfusion can be displayed and help in the detection of myocardial ischaemia and infarction.
Cadiac MR can provide non-invasive visualisation of the coronary arteries and provide a screening for suspected coronary artery disease.
