  • Chapter
Cardiac CT Imaging

  • 1015 Accesses

Summary

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging provides a multifaceted and comprehensive assessment for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, including cardiovascular structures, function, tissue characterization, myocardial perfusion, and metabolism. Applications include the assessment of coronary artery disease, pathologic myocardial substrates, congenital heart disease, thoracic vasculature, valvular function, masses, and electrophysiologically relevant substrates. Advances in technology will continue to lead to novel clinical and research applications.
