Abstract
Cardiac MRI (CMR) provides a comprehensive evaluation of cardiac function and anatomy, as well as myocardial tissue characterization and perfusion. New data show the potential for CMR to analyze left ventricular diastolic function, coronary plaque and myocardial oxygen levels. A growing body of animal and clinical data on molecular imaging, hybrid imaging and interventional CMR holds promise for more widespread clinical application. Technological advances in body coils, 3-T systems, imaging sequences and novel applications such as T1 mapping will expand the application and quality of CMR.
